Prsn brd/alit a 3-whl mv inj pk-up truck, pk-up/van, sequela

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a three-wheeled motor vehicle when it collided with a car, pickup truck, or van. This "sequela" indicates that the initial injury event has already occurred, and the current encounter addresses a residual effect.

Use this code for encounters where a patient is being treated for a chronic condition, disability, or late effect directly attributable to a past injury involving boarding or alighting a three-wheeled motor vehicle in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. This would apply, for example, to a patient presenting with chronic pain, nerve damage, or limited mobility years after the initial accident.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, nonunion fracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past accident described.
• This code is for the "S" (sequela) encounter, not the initial injury or subsequent active treatment phases.
