Driver of pk-up/van inj in clsn w pedl cyc in traf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from a traffic accident where the driver of a pickup truck or van was injured in a collision with a pedal cycle. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but the patient is now presenting with a residual condition or sequela directly attributable to that specific incident.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient's current medical condition that is a direct consequence of an injury sustained as a pickup truck/van driver in a collision with a bicycle, and the acute phase of the injury has passed. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or neurological deficits resulting from the original trauma. It should be used for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent issues.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code(s) for the specific residual condition(s) being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current sequela to the original traffic accident involving a pickup truck/van and a pedal cycle.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute injury encounter; it is exclusively for subsequent encounters addressing long-term effects.
