Occup of 3-whl mv injured in clsn w oth mv nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a delayed or residual health condition resulting from an injury sustained by an unidentified individual riding in a three-wheeled motor vehicle. The original injury occurred during a collision with another motor vehicle, specifically in a non-traffic setting such as a private driveway or parking lot. The "sequela" indicates that the current encounter is for the long-term effects of that past injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, disability, or complication directly attributable to an injury from a previous accident involving a three-wheeled vehicle colliding with another motor vehicle off a public roadway. This is appropriate for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of persistent symptoms related to the original incident.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, scar, limited range of motion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past accident and specifies the vehicle type and non-traffic setting.
• Verify that the "S" (sequela) seventh character is appropriate for the encounter, indicating treatment for a late effect.
