Person injured wh brd/alit from dune buggy, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained during the act of getting on or off a dune buggy. The original injury event is in the past, and the patient is now experiencing a residual effect directly attributable to that incident.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic issue, such as persistent pain, limited mobility, or neurological deficits, that is a direct consequence of an injury sustained while boarding or alighting from a dune buggy. This applies to follow-up encounters for conditions that have reached their maximum medical improvement but still require ongoing management due to the original trauma.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past dune buggy boarding/alighting injury.
• This code indicates the external cause of the sequela, not the sequela itself.
