Unsp rider of mtrcy inj in clsn with ped/anml in traf, sqla

This code describes a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an unspecified rider of a motorcycle (other than a moped or motor scooter) who was involved in a traffic accident with a pedestrian or an animal. The initial injury has already healed, but residual effects are present and require ongoing care or evaluation.

Use this code when documenting a sequela, such as chronic pain, scar contracture, neurological deficits, or psychological trauma, directly attributable to a past traffic accident where an unspecified motorcycle rider collided with a pedestrian or animal. This code is appropriate when the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the patient is being treated for the lasting effects.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) identifying the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past motorcycle accident involving a pedestrian or animal.
• Do not use for initial encounters or subsequent encounters for the acute injury; use only for sequelae.
