Driver of bus injured in clsn w ped/anml in traf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication arising from a bus driver's injury sustained in a traffic accident where their bus collided with either a pedestrian or an animal. The injury itself occurred in the past, and the patient is now presenting for treatment of a residual effect directly attributable to that original incident.

Assign this code when a bus driver is being treated for a chronic issue, disability, or late effect directly resulting from an old injury sustained during a collision with a pedestrian or animal. This is used for follow-up care or when the sequela manifests long after the initial injury has healed.

• Always use in conjunction with a code for the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, nonunion fracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past bus accident involving a pedestrian or animal.
• This code is for the driver of the bus, not passengers or the pedestrian/animal.
