Prsn brd/alit other mtrcy inj in clsn with pedl cyc, sequela

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger or driver on a motorcycle (other than a motor scooter or all-terrain vehicle) and was in the process of getting on or off it when it collided with a pedal cycle. The "S" at the end indicates that this is a sequela code, meaning it's used for complications or conditions arising as a direct result of the initial injury, occurring after the acute phase has passed.

Use this code when documenting a long-term effect or complication of an injury that occurred when a person was boarding or alighting a motorcycle during a collision with a pedal cycle. This could include chronic pain, scar tissue, nonunion of a fracture, or other residual conditions directly attributable to the original incident. It should be assigned for follow-up care related to the initial injury.

• Always assign a sequela code in conjunction with a code identifying the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the original motorcycle-pedal cycle collision.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute injury; it is exclusively for complications or conditions arising after the acute phase.
