Driver of bus inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle in traf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from a bus driver's injury sustained in a traffic accident where their bus collided with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle). It signifies that the initial injury has resolved, but the patient is now experiencing residual conditions directly attributable to that past event.

Apply this code when documenting a bus driver's current medical condition that is a direct consequence of an injury sustained in a past collision with a non-motor vehicle. This would include follow-up visits for chronic pain, limited range of motion, neurological deficits, or psychological sequelae (e.g., PTSD) stemming from the original accident.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past bus accident involving a non-motor vehicle.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates sequela and should be used for conditions that are residual effects of a previous injury.
