Animal-rider injured in collision w nonmtr vehicles, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an animal-rider's involvement in a collision with another nonmotorized vehicle, such as a bicycle, skateboard, or another animal-drawn conveyance. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but residual effects persist and are currently being treated or evaluated.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for conditions directly attributable to a past collision where an individual riding an animal (e.g., horse, camel) was struck by another nonmotorized vehicle. This includes chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or psychological sequelae stemming from the original incident.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past collision event.
• Do not use for initial injury encounters or active treatment of acute injuries.
