Prsn brd/alit pedl cyc inj in clsn w oth pedl cyc, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained when an individual was getting on or off a bicycle and collided with another bicycle. It indicates that the current medical encounter is for the management of a residual effect of that past incident.

Apply this code when a patient presents for treatment of a chronic issue, disability, or late effect directly attributable to a past injury involving boarding/alighting a pedal cycle during a collision with another pedal cycle. Examples include ongoing pain, limited range of motion, or neurological deficits stemming from such an accident.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past pedal cycle collision.
• The "S" seventh character indicates sequela and is crucial for proper reporting of late effects.
