Prsn brd/alit a 3-whl mv inj in nonclsn trnsp acc, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by an individual who was getting on or off a three-wheeled motor vehicle. The original injury occurred in a non-collision transport accident, meaning there was no impact with another vehicle or object. This code is used when the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the patient is now experiencing residual effects.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, disability, or complication directly attributable to an injury sustained while boarding or alighting a three-wheeled motor vehicle in a non-collision event. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or psychological sequelae from such an incident. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits or when the sequela is the primary reason for the encounter.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion).
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past non-collision transport accident involving a three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• The "S" seventh character indicates a sequela, meaning the residual effects of a previous injury.
