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

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck) during a collision with a pedal cycle in a traffic accident. It indicates that the initial injury has led to a residual condition requiring ongoing medical attention or impacting the patient's current health status.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, nerve damage, scar tissue, limited range of motion) directly attributable to an injury from the specified type of accident. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters occurring long after the initial injury has healed, but its effects persist.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) identifying the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original accident involving a person on the outside of a heavy transport vehicle and a pedal cycle.
• This code is for sequelae only; do not use for initial or subsequent encounters for the acute injury.
