Person outsd bus inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle in traf, sqla

This code describes a delayed or residual condition resulting from an injury sustained by an individual who was outside of a bus and involved in a traffic collision with another non-motorized vehicle. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but there are lasting effects or complications.

This code is appropriate for documenting long-term effects, such as chronic pain, limited mobility, or neurological deficits, that are directly attributable to an incident where a pedestrian or bystander near a bus was struck by a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle) in a traffic setting. It should be used for follow-up encounters after the acute phase of the injury.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, deformity).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past traffic accident involving a bus and a non-motorized vehicle.
• The "S" seventh character indicates sequela and is mandatory for this code.
