Ped w convey injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle, unsp, sequela

This code describes a pedestrian who sustained injuries as a long-term consequence of a past collision involving another conveyance (e.g., skateboard, scooter) and a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle). The original accident's traffic or nontraffic nature is unknown. This code is used when the initial injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience residual effects.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient presents with a chronic condition or complication directly attributable to a pedestrian-other conveyance vs. non-motor vehicle accident that occurred in the past. This applies when the specific traffic context of the original incident was not documented or is unknown. It indicates that the current medical issue is a sequela, not an acute injury from the original event.

• Always assign a primary code for the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, deformity) first.
• This code is an external cause code and should always be a secondary diagnosis.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past pedestrian-other conveyance vs. non-motor vehicle accident.
