Prsn brd/alit other mtrcy inj in clsn oth non-mv, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was getting on or off a motorcycle when it collided with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle, or pedestrian conveyance). It signifies that the initial injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience residual problems directly attributable to that specific accident.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting for follow-up care of a chronic condition, disability, or complication that is a direct result of being injured while boarding or alighting a motorcycle in a collision with a non-motor vehicle. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or scar tissue formation from such an event.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original motorcycle accident involving a non-motor vehicle.
• This "S" seventh character indicates sequela, meaning the initial injury has healed, and the patient is now experiencing the late effects.
