Animl-ridr inj pk-up truck, pk-up truck, van, hv veh, sqla

This code signifies a past injury sustained by an individual who was riding an animal (e.g., horse) and was involved in a collision with a motor vehicle such as a car, truck, or bus. It is used to indicate a residual condition or complication arising from that specific traumatic event, not the initial injury itself.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current health issue that is a direct consequence of a prior collision between an animal-rider and a motor vehicle. This would include conditions like chronic pain, neurological deficits, or orthopedic complications that are sequelae of 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 animal-rider/motor vehicle collision.
• The "S" at the end indicates "sequela," meaning it's for conditions resulting from a previous injury, not the acute injury itself.
