Prsn brd/alit pedl cyc injured in nonclsn trnsp acc, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained while a person was getting on or off a bicycle, and the injury was not due to a collision with another vehicle or object. It indicates that the initial injury has led to a lasting condition requiring ongoing medical attention.

Use this code when documenting a sequela, such as chronic pain, nerve damage, or a permanent disability, that is directly attributable to an injury sustained during the act of boarding or alighting a pedal cycle, without a collision. This applies to follow-up encounters for conditions that are a direct result of the original non-collision transport accident.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original non-collision pedal cycle boarding/alighting incident.
• Verify the "S" seventh character is appropriate for sequela, indicating a late effect of the injury.
