Prsn brd/alit a car injured in collision w pedl cyc, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting into or out of a car, and that injury resulted from a collision with a pedal cycle. It indicates that the initial injury has led to a persistent health problem or condition.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current condition that is a direct sequela of an injury from a past incident where they were boarding or alighting a car and were involved in a collision with a bicycle. This is used for follow-up encounters addressing the chronic effects of such an injury, not the initial acute injury.

• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past collision event.
• This code is for sequelae only; do not use it for the initial acute injury encounter.
• Always code the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, deformity) first, followed by this external cause code.
