Occup of 3-whl mv inj in clsn w statnry object nontraf, sqla

This code describes a long-term complication or late effect resulting from an injury sustained by an unspecified occupant of a three-wheeled motor vehicle. The original injury occurred during a collision with a stationary object, such as a tree or pole, in a non-traffic setting (e.g., private property, off-road).

This code is appropriate when documenting a condition that is a direct consequence of an injury from the specified accident, and the initial injury occurred in the past. Examples include chronic pain, nerve damage, or a permanent disability directly attributable to the original incident. It should be used as a secondary diagnosis following the code for the specific sequela.

• Always sequence the code for the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, deformity) first, followed by this sequela code.
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past three-wheeled motor vehicle accident.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic setting and involved a fixed or stationary object.
