Other mtrcy pasngr inj in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by a passenger on a motorcycle. The original injury occurred in a non-collision incident (e.g., a fall from the motorcycle, a sudden stop) that did not involve another vehicle, and it happened in an area not open to public traffic (e.g., a private driveway, a field).

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting for treatment of a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture, limited range of motion) directly resulting from an injury sustained as a motorcycle passenger. The original incident must have been a non-collision transport accident occurring in a non-traffic setting.

• Requires a seventh character 'S' to indicate sequela, meaning the patient is being treated for the residual effects of the original injury.
• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was a passenger and the accident was non-collision and occurred in a non-traffic area.
• Always code the specific nature of the sequela first, followed by this external cause code.
