Pedl cyc pasngr injured in clsn w ped/anml in traf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from a pedal cycle passenger being injured in a traffic accident involving a collision with either a pedestrian or an animal. It signifies that the initial injury has resolved, but residual conditions or sequelae persist.

Apply this code when documenting conditions such as chronic pain, nerve damage, scarring, or permanent disability that are directly attributable to an injury sustained as a pedal cycle passenger in a collision with a pedestrian or animal, occurring in a traffic accident. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial injury has healed.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code(s) for the specific residual condition(s) being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past pedal cycle accident involving a pedestrian or animal.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute injury; it is exclusively for the late effects.
