Driver of military vehicle injured nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by a driver of a military vehicle during an incident that did not occur on a public roadway. It indicates that the original injury has resolved, but its lasting effects are now being treated or evaluated.

Use this code when documenting the sequela of an injury sustained by a military vehicle driver in an off-road or non-traffic setting, such as an accident on a military base, training ground, or private property. This applies when the patient is presenting for treatment of a chronic condition directly attributable to that past injury.

• Always assign a code for the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, nonunion fracture) in addition to this external cause code.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past non-traffic military vehicle accident.
• This code is for the driver; use other V86.5 codes for passengers or other occupants.
