Prsn brd/alit from bus injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv, sequela

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by an individual who was either getting on or off a bus during a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. It signifies that the initial acute injury has resolved, but the patient is still experiencing residual effects or sequelae.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, disability, or complication directly attributable to a past injury involving a bus and a motorcycle/scooter/tricycle collision, where the patient was boarding or alighting. It should be used for follow-up care related to these lasting effects, not for the initial acute injury.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, neurological deficit).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past bus/motorcycle collision and the patient's role as boarding/alighting.
• Do not use this code for the initial encounter of the injury; instead, use the acute injury codes from the V72.4XXA category.
