Prsn brd/alit a 3-whl mv injured in clsn w ped/anml, 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 three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, auto-rickshaw) during a collision with either a pedestrian or an animal. It signifies that the initial injury event has passed, and the patient is now presenting for treatment of a residual condition directly attributable to that past incident.

This code is used when a patient presents for follow-up care or treatment of a chronic condition, disability, or complication that resulted from an injury sustained in the specified type of accident. Examples include ongoing pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or psychological sequelae directly linked to the original collision. It should be assigned after the acute phase of the injury has concluded.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, nonunion fracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past collision event involving a three-wheeled vehicle and a pedestrian or animal.
• The "S" in the seventh character indicates sequela, meaning it's for conditions that are the late effects of the initial injury.
