Electc bike pasngr inj pick-up truck/van nontraf, sequela

This code indicates that a patient, who was a passenger on an electric-assisted bicycle, sustained injuries from a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, meaning it did not happen on a public roadway. The "sequela" designation signifies that this code is used for conditions that are residual effects or complications of the initial injury, occurring after the acute phase has passed.

This code is appropriate for documenting long-term effects or complications arising from an electric bicycle passenger's injury in a non-traffic collision with a motor vehicle. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or psychological sequelae directly attributable to the original accident. It should be used when the patient is being treated for these lasting consequences, not the initial acute injury.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was a passenger on an electric-assisted bicycle and the collision was with a car, pick-up truck or van in a nontraffic accident.
• Verify that the encounter is for the sequela of the injury, not the acute injury itself.
