Car pasngr injured in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a past injury sustained by a car passenger in a non-collision transport accident. The original incident occurred in a location other than a public road or highway, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or off-road area. The "sequela" indicates that the current encounter is for the management of a residual effect of that past injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient encounter for the treatment or evaluation of a chronic condition, disability, or late effect directly attributable to an injury sustained as a car passenger in a non-collision, non-traffic accident. This applies to follow-up visits where the acute injury has already healed, but its lasting consequences are being addressed.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, paralysis).
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past non-collision, non-traffic car passenger accident.
• Do not use for initial or acute injury encounters; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
