Other mtrcy pasngr injured in clsn 2/3whl in traf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or late effect resulting from a motorcycle passenger being injured in a traffic accident involving another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The initial injury occurred in the past, and the patient is now presenting with a residual condition directly attributable to that specific collision.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture, neurological deficit) that arose from a motorcycle passenger's injury in a collision with another motorcycle, moped, or similar vehicle. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent issues, not the initial acute injury.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past motorcycle accident described.
• Verify the patient was a passenger, not the driver, and the collision involved another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
