Ped on foot injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle, unsp, sequela

This code describes a pedestrian who sustained an injury as a result of a collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, skateboard, animal-drawn vehicle), where the circumstances of the accident (traffic vs. non-traffic) are unknown. The "S" indicates that this is a sequela code, meaning it's used for complications or conditions arising directly from an initial injury that occurred in the past.

Apply this code when documenting a current condition or complication that is a direct result of a past injury involving a pedestrian colliding with a non-motorized vehicle, and the original accident's traffic/non-traffic nature was not specified. This is appropriate when the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the patient is now being treated for a long-term effect.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past pedestrian-nonmotor vehicle collision.
• Do not use for initial encounters or active treatment of the acute injury; those require codes from the initial encounter or subsequent encounter categories.
