Passenger of 3- or 4- wheeled ATV injured in traf, sequela

This code signifies a past injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger on a 3- or 4-wheeled all-terrain vehicle (ATV) involved in a traffic collision. The "sequela" designation indicates that this code is used to report residual conditions or complications arising from that original ATV accident, rather than the acute injury itself.

Apply this code when documenting long-term effects, chronic pain, functional limitations, or other lasting health problems directly attributable to a traffic accident where the patient was an ATV passenger. This code should be used in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, nonunion of fracture).

• Always pair this sequela code with a code identifying the specific residual condition or complication.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past ATV traffic accident.
• Do not use this code for initial or acute injury encounters.
