Unsp car occ injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an occupant of a car, pickup truck, or van. The original injury occurred during a collision with a motorcycle, moped, or motorized tricycle, and the incident took place off a public roadway, such as in a parking lot or private driveway. The specific nature of the car occupant's injury is not documented.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, limited range of motion) directly resulting from a past, unspecified injury sustained by a car occupant in an off-road collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. This code is appropriate when the initial injury event is no longer acute and the patient is being treated for a residual condition.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., M54.2 for cervicalgia, L90.5 for scar conditions).
• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the past motor vehicle accident.
• Verify the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" setting and involved a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
