Person outsd hv veh inj in clsn w rail trn/veh in traf, sqla

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an individual being injured while on the exterior of a large transport vehicle (e.g., a bus, truck) that was involved in a collision with a train or railway vehicle in a traffic accident. It indicates that the initial injury has led to persistent issues requiring ongoing medical attention.

Use this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, paralysis, amputation, organ damage) directly attributable to an injury sustained in the described accident type. This applies when the patient presents for treatment of these lasting effects, often long after the initial acute injury has healed.

• Always sequence the sequela code first, followed by codes for the specific sequela condition(s) (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past accident involving a person on the outside of a heavy transport vehicle and a railway train.
• This code is for traffic accidents only; do not use for non-traffic incidents or if the person was inside the vehicle.
