Person outside car inj in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, sequela

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was located outside of a car, not as an occupant, during a non-collision transport event. The incident occurred in an area not designated for public traffic, and the code specifically indicates a sequela, meaning a late effect or complication of the initial injury.

Apply this code for documented long-term effects or complications resulting from an injury sustained by a pedestrian or bystander struck by a car in a private parking lot, driveway, or other off-road setting, where no collision with another vehicle occurred. This includes scenarios like being run over or backed into by a vehicle on private property, with the current encounter addressing a residual condition.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis to describe the sequela, never as the primary.
• Requires an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, deformity).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the injury is a late effect of an incident occurring outside of a car, in a non-traffic, non-collision context.
