Driver of 3-whl mv inj in clsn w 2/3-whl mv nontraf, sequela

This code describes a long-term complication or condition arising from an injury sustained by the driver of a three-wheeled motor vehicle. The original injury occurred during a collision with another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in a location not open to public traffic, such as a private driveway or off-road area. The "sequela" indicates that the current encounter is for treatment of a residual effect of that past accident.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's visit for a chronic condition, disability, or late effect directly attributable to a past accident involving a three-wheeled vehicle driver in a non-traffic collision with another motorcycle or similar vehicle. Examples include ongoing pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or psychological sequelae from the original incident.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past three-wheeled vehicle accident in a non-traffic setting.
• Verify the patient was the driver and the collision involved another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in a nontraffic environment.
