Pasngr in 3-whl mv inj in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, sequela

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 incident was a non-collision transport accident that occurred outside of a public roadway, such as on private property or off-road. The "sequela" indicates that the current encounter is for treatment of a residual condition directly related to that past accident.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for chronic pain, limited mobility, neurological deficits, or other lasting health problems directly attributable to a non-collision three-wheeled vehicle accident where the patient was a passenger. This applies to situations where the initial injury has healed, but its effects persist and require ongoing medical attention.

• Always pair this sequela code with an external cause code (V00-Y99) that describes the original injury and its nature.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past three-wheeled vehicle accident.
• Verify the patient's role as a "passenger" and that the accident was "non-collision" and occurred in a "nontraffic" setting.
