This code signifies a long-term complication or condition arising from a passenger's injury sustained in a bus collision with another non-motor vehicle. The initial injury occurred in a traffic accident, and the patient is now presenting for care related to its lasting effects.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where the patient is being treated for a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, limited mobility, scar tissue) directly attributable to an injury from the specified bus accident. This applies after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly documents the link between the current condition and the past bus accident.
• Verify the "S" seventh character for sequela is appropriate for the encounter.
