Animal-rider injured in collision with streetcar, sequela

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by an animal rider in a past collision with a streetcar. The injury itself occurred at an earlier date, and the patient is now presenting for treatment of the residual effects.

Use this code when documenting a patient encounter for the sequelae of an injury where the original incident involved an individual riding an animal (e.g., horse, camel) colliding with a streetcar. This applies to follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of chronic conditions directly attributable to that specific past accident.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, nonunion fracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past animal-rider vs. streetcar collision.
• This "S" code indicates sequela and should only be used for conditions that are residual effects of a past injury, not for the initial acute injury.
