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

This code signifies a pedestrian who sustained injuries as a long-term consequence of being struck by a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, skateboard, animal-drawn vehicle) while they were also using another form of conveyance (e.g., roller skates, scooter) in a traffic accident. It indicates that the current encounter is for a condition or complication arising from that past event.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care, rehabilitation, or treatment for chronic conditions directly attributable to an injury sustained in such an accident. This applies when the initial injury occurred in the past and the patient is now presenting with a sequela.

• Always assign a primary code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., scar, chronic pain, nonunion).
• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the past pedestrian-other conveyance vs. non-motor vehicle accident.
• Verify the accident occurred in a traffic setting and involved a non-motor vehicle.
