Occup of hv veh injured in clsn w oth mv nontraf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an unspecified occupant of a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck) involved in a collision with another motor vehicle. The accident occurred off a public roadway, such as in a parking lot or private property. The "sequela" aspect indicates that the current encounter is for a residual condition directly resulting from that past injury.

Use this code when documenting a follow-up visit or treatment for a chronic condition, disability, or complication that is a direct consequence of an injury sustained in such an accident. This applies when the specific role of the occupant (e.g., driver, passenger) is not documented, and the incident was not on a public thoroughfare.

• Always assign a sequela code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past accident and specifies the nontraffic nature of the collision.
• Verify that the occupant's role and the type of heavy transport vehicle are not specified in the medical record.
