Prsn brd/alit hv veh inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or condition arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was getting on or off a large transport vehicle (like a bus or train) when it collided with a non-motorized vehicle (such as a bicycle or pedestrian). The injury itself occurred during the initial collision, and this code captures the lingering effects.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela of an injury that occurred while a person was boarding or alighting a heavy transport vehicle involved in a collision with a non-motor vehicle. This is appropriate for conditions like chronic pain, scar contractures, or neurological deficits directly attributable to the original incident, after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

• Always code the acute injury first, followed by this sequela code.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original boarding/alighting heavy transport vehicle collision with a non-motor vehicle.
• This code requires a seventh character for sequela, indicating the long-term nature of the condition.
