Person outside bus inj in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a bus during a non-traffic collision involving either a pedestrian or an animal. This indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but the patient is still experiencing residual symptoms or conditions directly attributable to that specific incident.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient presenting with sequelae such as chronic pain, nerve damage, scar tissue complications, or psychological trauma stemming from the described non-traffic accident. This applies when the original injury occurred on the outside of a bus that collided with a pedestrian or animal, and the encounter is for the late effects of that injury.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code(s) identifying the specific residual condition(s) being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly documents the link between the current condition and the past "person on outside of bus" injury.
• Verify that the collision was explicitly a "nontraffic accident" and involved a pedestrian or animal, not another vehicle.
