Prsn brd/alit pedl cyc injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a pedal cycle when it collided with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The injury itself occurred in the past, and the patient is now presenting with a residual effect directly attributable to that specific accident.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela, such as chronic pain, nerve damage, or a permanent disability, that is a direct consequence of a past collision where the patient was a pedal cyclist boarding or alighting and involved in an accident with a motorcycle, moped, or similar vehicle. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent issues, not the initial acute injury.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past pedal cycle accident involving a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• The "S" seventh character indicates sequela, meaning the initial injury has healed, but a residual condition remains.
