Pasngr in hv veh injured in clsn w unsp mv nontraf, sequela

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by a passenger in a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, train) involved in a collision with another motor vehicle. The original accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a parking lot or private property, and the specific type of other motor vehicle is not documented.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, limited range of motion) directly attributable to an injury from such an accident, and the initial injury has healed. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the residual effects of the past injury are being treated or evaluated.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past non-traffic collision as a passenger in a heavy transport vehicle.
• Verify that the collision involved an unspecified motor vehicle and occurred in a non-traffic area.
