Driver of pk-up/van inj in clsn w 2/3-whl mv nontraf, sqla

This code signifies a long-term or late-effect condition resulting from a past incident where the driver of a pickup truck or van was injured in a collision with a motorcycle, moped, or similar two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The original accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or off-road area. The "sequela" aspect indicates that the current encounter is for a complication or residual effect of that earlier injury.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents for treatment of a chronic pain, functional limitation, scar tissue, or other lasting health problem directly attributable to a past non-traffic collision involving a pickup/van driver and a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. It should be used for follow-up care long after the initial injury has healed, but its effects persist.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion, scar).
• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the specified past accident type and circumstances.
• Verify that the original accident was indeed a "nontraffic" event, as this significantly impacts code selection.
