Prsn brd/alit other mtrcy injured in clsn 2/3whl, sequela

This code describes a sequela (late effect) resulting from an injury sustained by an individual who was boarding or alighting from a motorcycle, specifically when that motorcycle was involved in a collision with another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The injury itself occurred at the time of the original accident, and this code is used to report a condition or complication arising from that past injury.

Use this code when documenting a current condition or symptom that is a direct consequence of an injury sustained in a past collision where the patient was boarding or alighting a motorcycle involved with another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. This applies to follow-up encounters for chronic pain, scar tissue, limited range of motion, or other long-term effects directly attributable to the original accident.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original motorcycle collision event.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates sequela; do not use for initial or subsequent encounters for acute injuries.
