Other mtrcy pasngr inj in clsn with pedl cyc in traf, sqla

This code indicates that a motorcycle passenger sustained injuries in a traffic accident involving a collision with a pedal cycle (e.g., bicycle), and the current encounter is for the long-term effects or complications of those initial injuries. It specifies that the individual was a passenger on the motorcycle, not the driver.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for conditions directly resulting from a motorcycle-pedal cycle collision, where the patient was a motorcycle passenger. This includes treatment for chronic pain, scar revisions, nerve damage, or rehabilitation services related to the original accident injuries.

• Always assign an additional code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, nonunion fracture).
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a motorcycle passenger and the collision involved a pedal cycle.
• This code is for sequelae; for initial or subsequent active treatment of the acute injury, a different V-code would be appropriate.
