Pasngr on bus inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a sequela (a condition resulting from a previous injury) sustained by a bus passenger involved in a collision with another non-motor vehicle. The original incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, meaning it did not happen on a public highway or road. The injury is a long-term complication or residual effect of the initial trauma.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic or residual condition directly attributable to an injury sustained as a passenger on a bus. The original injury must have resulted from a collision with a non-motor vehicle (e.g., a bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle) in an area not classified as a public thoroughfare, and the current encounter is for the sequela.

• Ensure the medical record clearly documents the injury as a sequela of the specified accident type and passenger status.
• Verify that the original accident occurred in a non-traffic environment, as this impacts the "X" character for place of occurrence.
• Always assign an additional code for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, nonunion).
