This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained when an individual was getting on or off a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, train) and was struck by a bicycle. The initial injury has resolved, but residual effects persist, requiring ongoing care or impacting the patient's current health status.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela, such as chronic pain, nerve damage, or a permanent disability, directly attributable to an injury that occurred during the specified boarding/alighting and collision event. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent issues, long after the initial acute injury has healed.

• Always use this 7th character 'S' for sequela when the current encounter addresses the residual effects of the original injury.
• Code the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion) in addition to this external cause code.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past boarding/alighting and pedal cycle collision.
