Occ of anml-drn vehicle injured in oth trnsp acc, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by an individual riding in an animal-drawn vehicle during a transport accident not involving a motor vehicle or other specified transport type. This includes conditions that manifest or persist after the initial injury has healed.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, paralysis, scar tissue, amputation) directly attributable to an injury sustained as an occupant of an animal-drawn vehicle in an accident. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters when the acute injury has resolved and the patient is being treated for the residual effects.

• Always use in conjunction with a code identifying the specific sequela (e.g., a code from M54.5 for low back pain, or T90.2XXS for sequela of fracture of skull).
• This code indicates the patient was an occupant, not the animal handler or a pedestrian.
• Ensure the "S" seventh character is used for sequela, indicating the long-term nature of the condition.
