Person outside bus inj in clsn w 2/3-whl mv nontraf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was outside of a bus when it collided with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The collision occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a parking lot or private property. The sequela indicates that the initial injury has healed, but residual conditions or chronic problems persist.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, disability, or complication directly attributable to an injury from a past incident involving a person outside a bus in a collision with a motorcycle, scooter, or moped in a non-roadway setting. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing these lasting effects, rather than the initial acute injury.

• Always assign a sequela code (S) as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, deformity).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the specified past accident and confirms the non-traffic nature of the collision.
• Verify the patient was outside the bus at the time of the collision, not a passenger or driver.
