Person outsd car inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle nontraf, sqla

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by an individual who was outside of a car during a collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle) in a non-traffic setting. The initial injury event has already occurred and the patient is now presenting with a residual effect.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela, such as chronic pain, scar tissue, or a permanent disability, directly attributable to an injury from the specified accident type. This would be used in follow-up encounters long after the initial injury has healed, but its effects persist.

• Always use in conjunction with a code identifying the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion, scar).
• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the past accident involving a person outside a car and a non-motor vehicle in a non-traffic setting.
• The "S" in the seventh character indicates sequela, meaning it's for conditions that are the late effects of the initial injury.
