Occup of hv veh inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle nontraf, sqla

This code describes a delayed or residual condition resulting from an injury sustained by an unidentifiable occupant of a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, train) involved in a collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle). The original accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private driveway or parking lot.

This code is appropriate when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar tissue, limited range of motion) directly attributable to an injury from the described accident. It should be used after the acute phase of the injury has passed and the patient is being treated for the long-term effects.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was an unspecified occupant and the collision involved a heavy transport vehicle and a non-motor vehicle in a non-traffic setting.
• The "S" seventh character indicates sequela and must always be appended for this code.
