This code describes a long-term complication or condition arising from a past traffic accident where the patient, driving a three-wheeled motor vehicle, collided with another unspecified motor vehicle. It signifies that the initial injury has resolved, but residual effects or sequelae are now being treated.

Use this code when documenting the treatment of chronic pain, functional limitations, or other lasting health problems directly attributable to a three-wheeled motor vehicle accident that occurred in traffic, involving an unspecified motor vehicle. This applies when the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the current encounter addresses the sequelae.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past three-wheeled motor vehicle accident.
• Verify that the accident involved a collision with an unspecified motor vehicle and occurred in traffic.
