This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was an external occupant of a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck) during a collision with a motorcycle or moped in a traffic accident. It signifies that the initial injury event has passed, and the patient is now presenting for care related to the residual conditions.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for sequelae such as chronic pain, scar tissue, limited range of motion, or neurological deficits directly resulting from the specified accident. This applies to situations where the patient is no longer in the acute phase of injury treatment but is receiving ongoing management for the lasting impact.

• This code is for sequelae, meaning it should be used for conditions that are the late effects of the initial injury.
• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, fracture malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past traffic accident involving the specified vehicles and occupant status.
