Occup of bus inj pick-up truck, pk-up/van in traf, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from injuries sustained by an unspecified occupant of a bus involved in a traffic collision with a car, pick-up truck, or van. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but residual conditions or sequelae persist.

Apply this code when documenting chronic pain, functional limitations, scarring, or other lasting health problems directly attributable to a bus-car/truck/van collision, after the acute phase of injury has passed. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent issues.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past bus collision.
• Confirm the patient was an occupant of the bus and the collision involved a car, pick-up truck, or van.
