V16.5XXS
ICD-10-CMPedal cycle passenger injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident, sequela
This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication arising from a past injury sustained by a passenger on a pedal cycle. The original injury occurred during a traffic accident where the pedal cycle collided with another nonmotor vehicle (e.g., another bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle, or pedestrian conveyance). The "sequela" aspect indicates that the current encounter is for the treatment or evaluation of a residual effect of that past accident.
Use this code when documenting a patient encounter for a chronic condition, disability, or late effect directly attributable to an injury sustained as a pedal cycle passenger in a collision with a nonmotor vehicle. This applies to follow-up care for conditions like chronic pain, limited range of motion, neurological deficits, or scar complications that developed as a result of the original accident.
