Driver of amblnc/fire eng injured nontraf, sequela

This code indicates that a driver of an emergency vehicle, such as an ambulance or fire engine, sustained an injury in an incident that did not occur on a public roadway. The injury is a long-term effect or complication arising from that initial non-traffic accident.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current condition that is a direct consequence of an injury sustained while driving an ambulance or fire engine in an off-road or private property incident. This includes situations like an accident occurring on a private driveway, a parking lot, or during training exercises not involving public thoroughfares.

• Always sequence this code after the primary code for the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past non-traffic accident involving the emergency vehicle.
• Verify the "S" seventh character is appropriate for sequela, indicating a late effect of the injury.
