Driver of 3-whl mv inj in clsn w pedl cyc in traf, sequela

This code indicates that a driver of a three-wheeled motor vehicle sustained an injury in a traffic accident involving a collision with a pedal cycle, and the encounter being coded is for the sequela (late effects) of that initial injury. It specifies the person's role as the driver and the type of vehicle involved, along with the nature of the collision and the setting.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care, rehabilitation, or treatment for long-term complications or residual effects stemming from an injury sustained by a three-wheeled motor vehicle driver in a collision with a pedal cycle. This applies after the initial acute phase of the injury has passed.

• Ensure the patient was the driver of the three-wheeled vehicle, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify the injury resulted from a collision with a pedal cycle in a traffic accident.
• Confirm this is for a sequela encounter, not the initial acute injury.
