Prsn brd/alit from bus injured in clsn w ped/anml, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was getting on or off a bus during a collision involving a pedestrian or an animal. It signifies that the initial injury has resolved, but residual conditions or secondary problems persist.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition that is a direct consequence of an injury sustained in the described bus-related collision, and the acute phase of the original injury has passed. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the sequela is being treated or evaluated.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code(s) for the specific residual condition(s) being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the historical bus collision with a pedestrian or animal.
• Do not use this code for the initial encounter of the injury; it is exclusively for sequelae.
