Animl-ridr injured in clsn w animl being ridden, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an individual riding an animal, where the injury resulted from a collision with another animal that was also being ridden. This indicates that the initial traumatic event has resolved, but residual effects persist.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture, nerve damage, psychological impact) directly attributable to an injury from a past incident involving two ridden animals colliding, where the patient was one of the riders. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these lasting effects, not the initial acute injury.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past collision event involving two ridden animals.
• This "S" seventh character indicates a sequela and should only be used for encounters addressing the long-term effects of the injury.
