Occupant of 3-whl mv injured in unsp nontraf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an occupant (driver or passenger) of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in an accident that did not occur on a public roadway. The original accident's specific circumstances are not detailed beyond being a non-traffic event.

Use this code when documenting a sequela, such as chronic pain, permanent disability, or a scar, that is a direct result of an injury from a three-wheeled motor vehicle accident that happened off-road (e.g., on private property, a farm, or an industrial site). This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial injury has been treated.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion).
• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the past three-wheeled motor vehicle accident and specifies it was a non-traffic event.
• Verify that the patient was an occupant (driver or passenger) of the vehicle, not a pedestrian or cyclist.
