Animl-ridr injured in trnsp acc w military vehicle, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an individual riding an animal (e.g., horse, camel) during a transport accident involving a military vehicle. The initial injury has healed, but the patient is now presenting with a residual condition directly attributable to that past event.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela, such as chronic pain, paralysis, or a permanent disability, that is a direct result of an animal-rider being injured in a collision or other transport accident with a military vehicle. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the focus is on the lasting effects of the original injury.

• 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 transport accident involving a military vehicle and an animal rider.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates sequela, meaning the initial injury has already occurred and the patient is being seen for a residual effect.
