Prsn brd/alit from bus injured in clsn w hv veh, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a bus, and that bus was involved in a collision with another heavy transport vehicle or another bus. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but a residual condition or effect persists.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar tissue, limited range of motion, neurological deficits) directly attributable to an injury sustained during such a collision. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters occurring long after the initial injury has healed, but its lasting effects are still being treated or monitored.

• Always sequence the sequela code first, followed by the code for the specific residual condition.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past bus collision event.
• This code is for sequelae only; do not use it for the initial acute injury.
