Driver of bus injured in clsn w unsp mv nontraf, sequela

This code describes a long-term or late-effect condition resulting from a bus driver sustaining injuries in a collision with an unspecified motor vehicle. The accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, meaning it did not happen on a public highway or road. The "sequela" designation indicates that the current encounter is for a residual condition or complication directly attributable to the original injury.

Use this code when documenting a follow-up visit or treatment for a chronic condition, disability, or complication that arose from an injury sustained by a bus driver in a non-traffic collision with another motor vehicle. This applies when the initial injury has healed, but its lasting effects are being addressed. It is appropriate when the specific type of other motor vehicle involved is not documented.

• Always sequence the sequela code after the code(s) identifying the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, limited range of motion).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was the driver of a bus and the accident was non-traffic related.
• Only use this code for encounters addressing the late effects of the injury, not the initial acute treatment.
