Driver of bus injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or condition arising from an injury sustained by a bus driver. The original injury occurred during a non-traffic incident where their bus collided with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. This code is used when the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the patient is now being treated for the residual effects.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care, rehabilitation, or treatment for chronic conditions directly resulting from the specified collision. Examples include ongoing pain, limited mobility, nerve damage, or psychological sequelae stemming from the initial event. It is appropriate for encounters occurring months or years after the initial injury.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original bus collision.
• Verify the accident was indeed a "non-traffic" event and involved a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
