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

This code describes a sequela (late effect) resulting from a bus driver being injured in a traffic collision involving another unspecified motor vehicle. The original injury occurred in the past, and the patient is now presenting for treatment of a residual condition directly attributable to that past accident.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic or long-term health problem, such as persistent pain, limited range of motion, or neurological deficits, that is a direct consequence of a bus driver's past involvement in a multi-vehicle traffic accident. The specific type of other motor vehicle involved in the original collision is not known or not documented.

• 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 as a sequela.
• Do not use this code for the initial encounter for the injury; it is exclusively for late effects.
