Person outsd hv veh inj in clsn w pedl cyc nontraf, sequela

This code describes a sequela (late effect) of an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a heavy transport vehicle (e.g., a truck, bus) when it collided with a pedal cycle. The initial incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private property, parking lot, or industrial site. The 'S' indicates that this code is for the sequela of the original injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a long-term complication or residual condition directly resulting from an injury sustained in the described non-traffic collision. This applies to follow-up encounters occurring after the acute phase of the initial injury has passed. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or nerve damage stemming from the original event.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly documents the patient's position on the outside of the heavy transport vehicle at the time of the original incident.
• Verify the collision involved a pedal cycle and occurred in a nontraffic setting.
