Electc bike (driver) injured in unspecified nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an individual (driver or passenger) on an electric-assisted bicycle during an accident that did not occur on a public roadway. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but residual effects persist.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage) directly attributable to an electric bicycle accident that happened in a non-traffic setting (e.g., private property, park trail). This code is used after the acute phase of the original injury has passed and the patient is being treated for the lasting effects.

• Always use this code with an additional code specifying the nature of the sequela (e.g., M25.5xx for chronic joint pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the injury was due to an electric bicycle and occurred in a non-traffic environment.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates a sequela, meaning it's for conditions resulting from a previous injury.
