This code signifies a delayed or residual effect from an injury sustained by an individual who was an occupant, but not enclosed, of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a non-collision traffic accident. The initial incident did not involve impact with another vehicle or object, but rather events like overturning, falling from the vehicle, or a sudden stop.

Apply this code when documenting conditions that are a direct consequence of a past non-collision traffic accident involving a three-wheeled motor vehicle, where the patient was on the outside of the vehicle. This would include chronic pain, neurological deficits, or permanent mobility issues stemming from such an event.

• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to a past non-collision traffic accident involving a three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• This code is for sequelae only; use an acute injury code for the initial encounter.
• Verify the patient's role as being "on the outside" of the three-wheeled motor vehicle.
