Pasngr in hv veh inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle nontraf, sqla

This code describes a long-term or late-effect condition resulting from an injury sustained by a passenger in a large vehicle (e.g., bus, train) that collided with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle). The original accident occurred in an area not open to customary traffic, such as a private road, parking lot, or industrial site.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture, neurological deficit) directly attributable to an injury from such an accident. The initial injury must have occurred in a non-traffic setting involving a heavy transport vehicle and a non-motor vehicle, and the patient was a passenger.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was a passenger and the collision involved a heavy transport vehicle and a non-motor vehicle in a non-traffic setting.
• Verify that the condition being coded is a direct consequence of the original injury, not an acute injury.
