Pedl cyc pasngr inj pk-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, sequela

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by a passenger on a pedal cycle (bicycle, tricycle, etc.) involved in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. The original incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a parking lot, driveway, or private property. The "sequela" indicates that the current encounter is for the late effects or complications of that past injury.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents for treatment of a chronic condition, disability, or scar directly attributable to an injury sustained as a pedal cycle passenger in a non-traffic collision with a motor vehicle. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or neurological deficits stemming from the original accident. It should be used after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

• Always assign a code for the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, nonunion fracture) first, followed by this external cause code.
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a passenger on the pedal cycle, not the driver.
• Verify the collision occurred in a nontraffic area and involved a car, pickup truck, or van.
