Prsn brd/alit hv veh injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck) when it was involved in a collision with a motorcycle or moped. It signifies that the initial injury has resulted in a persistent condition or sequela requiring ongoing care.

Use this code when documenting a patient's current condition that is a direct consequence of an old injury from the specified type of motor vehicle accident. This applies to follow-up encounters for chronic pain, functional limitations, or other lasting impairments resulting from the initial event. It should be assigned after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the historical collision involving a heavy transport vehicle and a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• Verify that the encounter is for the sequela of the injury, not the initial acute injury itself.
