Unsp rider of mtrcy inj in clsn with pedl cyc nontraf, sqla

This code describes a long-term complication or condition arising from an injury sustained by an unspecified rider of a motorcycle (other than a moped or motorized scooter) who was involved in a collision with a pedal cycle. The original accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or off-road area. The "sequela" indicates that the current encounter is for a residual effect of that past injury.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents for treatment of a chronic condition, disability, or late effect directly resulting from a previous injury sustained as an unspecified motorcycle rider in a non-traffic collision with a pedal cycle. Examples include ongoing pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or scar complications from the initial incident. It should be used after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

• Always assign a code for the specific sequela (e.g., scar, arthritis, chronic pain) first, followed by this external cause code.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was an "unspecified rider" of a "motorcycle" (not moped/scooter) and the collision was with a "pedal cycle" in a "nontraffic" environment.
• The "S" in the seventh character indicates sequela and should only be used for encounters addressing the late effects of the injury.
