Prsn brd/alit from bus inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle, sequela

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by an individual who was getting on or off a bus during a collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle). This indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but the patient is now experiencing a residual effect or sequela.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, disability, or late effect directly attributable to an injury from a past incident where they were boarding or alighting a bus involved in a crash with a non-motorized vehicle. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the acute phase of the original injury has passed.

• Always sequence this sequela code first, followed by the code(s) for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar formation, limited range of motion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past bus-nonmotor vehicle collision event.
• Verify the patient was boarding or alighting the bus, not merely a passenger, and that the other vehicle involved was non-motorized.
