Occupant of pk-up/van injured in unsp nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an occupant (driver or passenger) of a pick-up truck or van during an accident that did not occur on a public road or highway. It indicates that the original injury has resolved, but the patient is now experiencing a residual effect directly attributable to that past event.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current health condition that is a direct sequela of a past injury sustained while an occupant of a pick-up truck or van in a non-traffic accident. This would include conditions like chronic pain, limited range of motion, or neurological deficits that developed after the initial injury healed.

• 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 non-traffic pick-up truck/van accident.
• Verify that the accident was explicitly not a traffic accident (e.g., occurred on private property, farm, or off-road).
