Prsn outsd pk-up/van inj in clsn w statnry obj nontraf, 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 pick-up truck or van during a collision with a stationary object. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, meaning it did not happen on a public roadway.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition that is a direct consequence of a past injury from the specified type of nontraffic accident. This applies to follow-up encounters for conditions like chronic pain, scar contractures, or neurological deficits directly attributable to the original event.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past accident involving a person on the outside of a pick-up/van colliding with a fixed object in a nontraffic setting.
• Verify the "S" seventh character is appropriate for sequela, indicating a late effect of the injury.
