Occup of 3-whl mv inj in nonclsn trnsp acc in traf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or late effect resulting from an injury sustained by an unspecified individual who was riding in a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a non-collision traffic accident. The initial injury occurred in a traffic setting, and the sequela is now being treated or evaluated.

Use this code when documenting conditions that are residual effects of an injury sustained in a non-collision three-wheeled motor vehicle accident, and the patient's specific role (driver, passenger) is not known. This applies to follow-up encounters for chronic pain, neurological deficits, or other lasting complications directly attributable to the original incident.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, neurological deficit).
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past three-wheeled motor vehicle accident.
• This code is for traffic accidents only; do not use for non-traffic incidents.
