Pedl cyc passenger injured in clsn w oth mv in traf, sequela

This code indicates a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a past traffic accident where an individual was a passenger on a pedal cycle involved in a collision with another motor vehicle. The injury itself occurred in the past, and the current encounter addresses a residual effect of that original trauma.

Apply this code when documenting a patient encounter for a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, scar tissue complications) directly attributable to a pedal cycle passenger injury sustained in a motor vehicle collision. This code is appropriate for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of persistent issues from the original accident.

• Always assign an additional code(s) for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., M25.561 for chronic pain in right knee).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past pedal cycle accident.
• This code is for sequela only; do not use for the initial acute injury encounter.
