This code describes a delayed or long-term health consequence resulting from an individual being on the exterior of a large transport vehicle (e.g., train, bus, large truck) during a collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle, pedestrian conveyance). The initial accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or industrial area.

Use this code when documenting a condition or injury that is a residual effect or complication of such an incident, appearing after the acute phase of the injury. Examples include chronic pain, neurological deficits, or permanent disfigurement directly attributable to the original non-traffic accident. This code is appropriate when the patient is presenting for treatment of these long-term sequelae.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, fracture malunion, chronic pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the historical non-traffic accident involving the patient on the outside of a heavy transport vehicle.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic environment and involved a non-motor vehicle for accurate code selection.
