Prsn brd/alit pedl cyc inj pick-up truck, pk-up/van, sequela

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an individual being injured while getting on or off a bicycle during a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. It signifies that the initial injury event has passed, but the patient is still experiencing residual effects.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient's current medical condition that is a direct consequence of a past injury sustained in this specific type of traffic accident. It should be used for follow-up encounters, rehabilitation, or ongoing management of chronic issues stemming from the original incident.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, limited range of motion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past pedal cycle-vehicle collision.
• The "S" in the seventh character indicates sequela and should be used for all encounters related to the long-term effects of the injury.
