Pedl cyc passenger injured in clsn w hv veh nontraf, sequela

This code describes a long-term complication or condition resulting from an injury sustained by a passenger on a pedal cycle (e.g., bicycle, tricycle) when it collided with a large vehicle like a truck or bus. The collision occurred in an area not typically used for public traffic, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or industrial site. The "sequela" indicates that the current encounter is for a residual effect of the initial injury, not the acute injury itself.

Use this code when documenting a follow-up visit or treatment for a chronic condition, disability, or scar directly attributable to an injury sustained as a pedal cycle passenger in a non-traffic collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus. This applies when the original injury event is in the past, and the patient is now being treated for its lasting effects.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., pain, paralysis, scar).
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a passenger on the pedal cycle and the collision involved a heavy transport vehicle or bus in a nontraffic setting.
• The 7th character "S" (sequela) is mandatory and indicates that the current encounter is for the late effects of the injury.
