Pasngr in hv veh inj in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by a passenger in a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, train, heavy truck) during a non-collision incident. The original accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, meaning it did not involve a public roadway.

Apply this code when documenting a condition that is a direct result of an injury sustained in such an accident, and the initial injury has resolved but left a residual effect. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or neurological deficits that manifest after the initial healing period.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past non-collision, non-traffic transport accident.
• Verify the "S" seventh character is appropriate for sequela, indicating a late effect.
