Prsn brd/alit other mtrcy inj clsn with statnry object, sqla

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 (other than a motor scooter or moped) when it collided with a stationary object. The sequela could be any lasting physical or mental impairment directly attributable to the original accident.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, disability, or late effect directly linked to a past injury from boarding or alighting an "other" motorcycle that struck a fixed object. Examples include chronic pain, paralysis, or neurological deficits stemming from such an event. This code is used after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, nonunion fracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past motorcycle accident involving a fixed object during boarding/alighting.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates sequela, meaning the patient is being seen for a complication or late effect of the initial injury.
