Prsn brd/alit other mtrcy inj in clsn with hv veh, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a motorcycle (excluding mopeds) when it collided with a large transport vehicle or bus. The injury itself occurred at the time of the collision, and the sequela represents a residual effect or chronic issue stemming from that initial trauma.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, disability, or late effect directly attributable to an injury sustained during a specific type of traffic accident. This applies when the patient was a motorcycle occupant (boarding or alighting) involved in a collision with a heavy goods vehicle or passenger bus, and the current encounter is for the management of the sequela.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, paralysis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past motorcycle accident involving a heavy transport vehicle or bus.
• The "S" in the seventh character indicates sequela; do not use for initial or subsequent encounters for the acute injury.
