Person outsd pk-up/van inj in clsn w pedl cyc in traf, sqla

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a pickup truck or van, involved in a traffic collision with a pedal cycle. The initial injury occurred in a traffic accident, and this code is used to report the residual conditions after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture, nerve damage) directly attributable to an injury from a past traffic accident where they were an external occupant of a pickup truck or van and collided with a bicycle. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits or when the long-term consequences of the original injury are being treated.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific residual condition being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past accident described.
• Verify the patient's position (on the outside of the vehicle) and the type of collision (with a pedal cycle) are explicitly stated in the medical record.
