Pedestrian injured nontraf involving unsp mv, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by a pedestrian in an accident that did not occur on a public roadway. The injury involved an unspecified type of motor vehicle, and the current encounter is for the management of these lingering effects, not the initial injury.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for conditions such as chronic pain, limited mobility, or neurological deficits directly attributable to a past pedestrian injury from a non-traffic motor vehicle incident. This applies when the original injury has healed, but its lasting impact requires ongoing medical attention.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the injury was sustained as a pedestrian, involved a motor vehicle, and occurred in a non-traffic setting.
• Confirm the encounter is for a sequela and not the initial or acute phase of the injury.
