Person outsd bus inj pk-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or condition resulting from an injury sustained by an individual who was outside of a bus during a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. The original accident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a parking lot or private property. The sequela could be a chronic pain syndrome, permanent disability, or other lasting health issue directly attributable to the initial incident.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current health problem that is a direct consequence of a past injury sustained in the described non-traffic bus-car/truck collision. This applies to follow-up visits for chronic conditions, rehabilitation, or ongoing management of permanent impairments. The original injury event must have already occurred and the current condition is a residual effect.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific chronic condition or permanent injury being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current sequela to the past non-traffic bus-car/truck collision.
• Verify the "S" seventh character is appropriate, indicating a sequela, rather than an initial encounter or subsequent encounter for the acute injury.
