Pedl cyc driver injured in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a pedal cycle driver's injury sustained in a non-traffic collision with either a pedestrian or an animal. The initial injury occurred while the individual was operating a bicycle, tricycle, or similar pedal-powered vehicle outside of a public roadway.

Apply this code when documenting a current health problem directly attributable to an injury sustained in a past, non-traffic pedal cycle accident involving a pedestrian or animal. This includes conditions like chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or psychological sequelae that are a direct consequence of the original incident.

• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the specified past accident.
• This code is for sequelae only; do not use it for the initial injury encounter.
• Always code the specific nature of the sequela first, followed by this external cause code.
