Person outsd car inj in clsn w statnry object nontraf, sqla

This code describes a sequela of an injury sustained by an individual who was outside of a car but involved in a collision with a stationary object. The initial injury occurred in a nontraffic accident setting, meaning it did not happen on a public highway or road. The "sequela" indicates a late effect or complication of the original injury.

Use this code for follow-up encounters or when documenting a chronic condition resulting from an initial injury where a person, not inside a vehicle, was struck by or collided with a fixed object in a non-traffic setting. Examples include a pedestrian hit by a car backing out of a driveway, or someone working on a car in a garage who is pinned against a wall.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, nonunion).
• Ensure the original accident documentation clearly specifies "nontraffic" and the person's position "outside of car."
• Verify that the encounter is for a late effect or complication, not the initial acute injury.
