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

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an unspecified occupant of a pickup truck or van. The original incident involved a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle and occurred in a non-traffic setting. The injury itself is no longer acute, but its lasting effects are being addressed.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for conditions such as chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or psychological sequelae directly attributable to an injury from the described accident. This code is appropriate when the initial injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience residual problems. It should be used in conjunction with a code for the specific sequela being treated.

• Always sequence this external cause code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the original non-traffic accident involving a pickup/van and a two/three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• The "S" at the end indicates this is a sequela code, meaning it's used for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of an injury that has already healed.
