Person injured wh brd/alit from rail trn/veh, sequela

This code describes a long-term complication or residual condition resulting from an injury sustained by an individual while in the process of getting on or off a railway train or other railway vehicle. This includes conditions that manifest after the initial injury has healed, or conditions that are a direct consequence of the original trauma.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, scar contracture) directly attributable to an injury that occurred during boarding or alighting from a train. This code is used for follow-up encounters for these persistent conditions, not for the initial injury.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past railway boarding/alighting incident.
• This code is for the "S" (sequela) encounter type, indicating a late effect.
