Pasngr in 3-whl mv inj pk-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, sqla

This code describes a delayed or residual condition resulting from an injury sustained by a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle. The original incident involved a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van, and occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private driveway or parking lot. The "sequela" indicates that the current encounter is for the long-term effects or complications of that past injury.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of chronic issues directly attributable to an injury from the described accident. Examples include ongoing pain, limited mobility, neurological deficits, or scar tissue complications from a collision that happened previously. It would not be used for the initial acute injury encounter.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, nonunion fracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past three-wheeled vehicle accident.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic area and involved a car, pickup, or van.
