Car driver injured in collision w pedl cyc nontraf, sequela

This code describes a car driver who sustained injuries in a collision involving a pedal cycle, specifically when the incident occurred in a non-traffic environment. The "S" suffix indicates that this code is used for sequelae, meaning it's applied for complications or conditions arising as a direct result of the initial injury, after the acute phase of treatment.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a car driver whose prior injuries, sustained from a non-traffic collision with a pedal cycle, are now presenting as long-term effects, complications, or require ongoing management. This would include scenarios like chronic pain, scar revisions, or persistent functional limitations directly attributable to the original incident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the original non-traffic collision with a pedal cycle.
• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, scar).
• Verify the "non-traffic" aspect of the accident, as this significantly impacts code selection.
