Prsn brd/alit pk-up/van injured in clsn w pedl cyc, sequela

This code describes a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was either getting into or out of a pick-up truck or van when it collided with a bicycle. The injury itself occurred at an earlier date, and this code is used to report the residual effects of that initial incident.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition directly attributable to a past injury involving a pick-up truck/van occupant (boarding/alighting) and a pedal cycle collision. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the acute injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience related symptoms or complications. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or neurological deficits stemming from the original accident.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code(s) for the specific residual condition(s) being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past pick-up truck/van and pedal cycle collision.
• Verify that the encounter is for the sequela of the injury, not the initial acute treatment.
