Driver of hv veh inj in clsn w 2/3-whl mv nontraf, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by the driver of a large transport vehicle (e.g., truck, bus) involved in a collision with a motorcycle, scooter, or similar vehicle. The accident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private parking lot or off-road area.

Apply this code when documenting residual conditions or sequelae (e.g., chronic pain, limited mobility, neurological deficits) directly attributable to an injury from the specified non-traffic accident. This code is appropriate for encounters occurring after the initial acute injury phase, where the patient is being treated for the lasting impact of the event.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, fracture nonunion).
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was the driver of a heavy transport vehicle and the collision was with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in a non-traffic setting.
• This "S" seventh character indicates sequela, meaning it's for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of an injury, not the initial injury itself.
