Pedestrian injured in traf involving unsp mv, sequela

This code signifies a pedestrian's long-term health issue or complication arising from a traffic accident involving an unspecified motor vehicle. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience residual effects directly attributable to that event.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a pedestrian who sustained injuries in a motor vehicle accident, and the current encounter addresses a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, limited mobility, scar tissue) from that past event. This is appropriate after the acute phase of the original injury has passed.

• Always pair this sequela code with a code for the specific residual condition being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past pedestrian traffic accident.
• Verify that the motor vehicle involved was unspecified if more specific information is available.
