Person injured wh brd/alit from amblnc/fire eng, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or condition resulting from an injury sustained by an individual while either getting on or off an ambulance or fire engine. The initial injury has resolved, but its lasting effects are now being treated or evaluated.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current health problem that is a direct consequence of an injury that occurred during boarding or alighting from an emergency vehicle. This includes conditions like chronic pain, nerve damage, or limited mobility stemming from such an incident.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past injury involving the emergency vehicle.
• Do not use this code for the initial injury encounter; it is exclusively for residual effects.
