Person outside car inj in clsn w pedl cyc in traf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was outside of a car and involved in a traffic accident with a bicycle. The original injury occurred when the person was struck by a pedal cycle while not inside a vehicle.

Apply this code when documenting conditions that are residual or chronic consequences of a past incident where a pedestrian or bystander was hit by a bicycle in a traffic setting. This would be used for follow-up care related to such an injury, after the acute phase has passed.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code(s) for the specific residual condition(s) being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past collision with a pedal cycle.
• Do not use this code for the initial encounter or active treatment of the acute injury.
