Pasngr in 3-whl mv inj in clsn w nonmtr veh nontraf, sqla

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle. The original injury occurred during a collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle) in an area not open to public traffic, such as a private driveway or parking lot.

Apply this code when documenting a condition that is a direct consequence of an injury sustained in the described accident, and the initial injury has healed but left a residual problem. This would be used for follow-up encounters where the sequela, rather than the acute injury, is being treated.

• Always sequence the code for the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, deformity) first, followed by this external cause code.
• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the original accident type and circumstances.
• Verify that the accident occurred in a non-traffic area and involved a non-motor vehicle.
