This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle. The original injury occurred during an impact with an unmoving object, such as a tree or pole, in a non-traffic setting (e.g., private property, off-road).

This code is appropriate when documenting conditions that are residual effects of an injury sustained in the described accident, and the patient is presenting for treatment of these sequelae. Examples include chronic pain, nerve damage, or impaired mobility directly attributable to the past incident.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past three-wheeled vehicle accident.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic environment and involved a fixed or stationary object.
