Pedl cyc driver inj pk-up truck, pk-up/van in traf, sequela

This code signifies long-term health problems or conditions arising from a pedal cyclist (bicyclist) being struck by a car, pickup truck, or van in a traffic accident. It indicates that the initial injury event has passed, and the patient is now experiencing residual effects directly attributable to that specific collision.

Apply this code when documenting conditions such as chronic pain, neurological deficits, limited range of motion, or psychological sequelae (e.g., PTSD) that are a direct result of a past collision between a bicycle and a motor vehicle. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent issues, long after the acute phase of the original injury has resolved.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past bicycle-motor vehicle collision.
• Verify that the encounter is for the sequela of the injury, not the acute injury itself.
