Prsn brd/alit other mtrcy injured pick-up truck/van, sequela

This code signifies a past injury sustained by an individual who was getting on or off a motorcycle (excluding mopeds or motorized bicycles) when it collided with a car, pickup truck, or van. The "S" at the end indicates that the current encounter is for the sequelae, or late effects, of that original injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient visit for conditions directly resulting from a prior collision where they were boarding or alighting a motorcycle that struck a car, pickup truck, or van. Examples include chronic pain, scar tissue, limited range of motion, or neurological deficits stemming from the original accident.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past motorcycle accident.
• Verify the patient was in the process of boarding or alighting the motorcycle, not actively riding it, at the time of the initial collision.
