Ped w convey inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle nontraf, sequela

This code describes a pedestrian who sustained injuries as a long-term consequence of a collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle, streetcar) in a location not open to public traffic (e.g., private driveway, parking lot). The "sequela" designation indicates that the injury being treated is a residual effect or complication of the initial accident, not the acute injury itself.

Use this code when documenting the treatment of chronic pain, disability, scarring, or other lasting conditions directly resulting from a past collision where a pedestrian was hit by a non-motorized conveyance in a non-traffic area. This code would be appropriate for follow-up visits addressing these long-term effects, often occurring months or years after the initial incident.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, malunion).
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the injury is a sequela of a past accident, not an acute injury.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic area and involved a non-motor vehicle impacting a pedestrian.
