Driver of sp off-rd mv injured nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by the driver of a specialized all-terrain or off-road vehicle in an accident that did not occur on a public roadway. This includes conditions that manifest after the initial injury has healed, but are directly attributable to the original incident.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela, such as chronic pain, neurological deficits, or functional limitations, that arose from an injury sustained by the driver of an ATV, UTV, or similar off-road vehicle in a non-traffic setting. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent issues.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original off-road vehicle accident.
• Verify the patient was the driver and the accident was non-traffic to accurately apply this code.
