Unsp pedl cyclst inj in clsn w statnry object nontraf, sqla

This code signifies a long-term complication or condition arising from a pedal cyclist's injury in an accident where they struck a stationary object, and the incident did not occur on a public roadway. It indicates that the specific type of cyclist (e.g., bicyclist, tricyclist) is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture, neurological deficit) directly attributable to a past injury sustained while cycling off-road and colliding with an unmoving object. This is appropriate when the initial injury event is no longer acute but its lasting effects are being treated.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the injury was due to a non-traffic accident and involved a fixed or stationary object.
• Verify that the patient was a pedal cyclist, and the type of pedal cycle is not specified in the medical record.
