Passenger of military vehicle injured nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late-developing health condition resulting from an injury sustained by a passenger in a military vehicle during an accident that occurred off a public roadway. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but its lasting effects are now being treated or evaluated.

This code is appropriate for documenting conditions such as chronic pain, neurological deficits, or orthopedic complications that are directly attributable to an injury sustained as a passenger in a military vehicle during an off-road incident. It should be used when the patient is presenting for treatment of these residual effects, not the initial injury itself.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past military vehicle nontraffic accident.
• Verify that the patient was a passenger and the accident was nontraffic (off-road) to accurately apply this code.
