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

This code signifies a long-term or late-effect condition resulting from a pedal cycle passenger being injured in a traffic accident involving a car, pick-up truck, or van. The initial injury occurred when the patient was a passenger on a bicycle, and the collision happened on a public roadway or similar traffic area.

Apply this code when documenting conditions that are residual effects of such an accident, occurring after the acute phase of the original injury has passed. Examples include chronic pain, scar tissue complications, or neurological deficits directly attributable to the past collision. This code is used in conjunction with a code for the specific sequela.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code describing the specific condition being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past pedal cycle accident.
• Do not use this code for the initial, acute injury; it is exclusively for late effects.
