Passenger injured in collision w unsp mv nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a past injury sustained by a passenger in a collision involving two or more motor vehicles. The accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a parking lot or private property, and the specific types of motor vehicles involved are not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar tissue, limited range of motion) directly attributable to a motor vehicle collision that happened in a non-traffic area. The original injury event must be in the patient's history, and the current encounter is for treatment of the residual effects.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the accident was a "nontraffic accident" and the patient was a "passenger."
• The "S" at the end indicates a sequela code, meaning it's for conditions resulting from a previous injury, not the initial injury itself.
