Occupant of stcar injured in clsn w mtr veh nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late-developing health condition resulting from an injury sustained by a person riding a streetcar. The original injury occurred during a collision with a motor vehicle, but this specific incident happened in a non-traffic setting, such as a private property or parking lot. The sequela could manifest months or even years after the initial event.

Use this code when documenting a current health problem directly attributable to an injury sustained as a streetcar occupant in a past collision with a motor vehicle, where the original accident was not on a public roadway. This applies to conditions like chronic pain, neurological deficits, or psychological trauma that are a direct consequence of that specific incident. It should be used for follow-up care related to these lasting effects.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar formation).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past streetcar-motor vehicle collision in a non-traffic area.
• Verify the "S" seventh character is appropriate for sequela, indicating the long-term effects of the injury.
