Occup of sp off-rd mv injured nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a delayed or residual health problem resulting from an injury sustained by an unspecified individual who was a passenger or driver in a specialized off-road vehicle (e.g., ATV, dune buggy, golf cart) during an accident that did not occur on a public road. The initial injury event has already passed, and the patient is now presenting with a long-term consequence.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, paralysis, scar tissue, neurological deficit) directly attributable to a past injury involving an off-road vehicle accident that did not take place on a highway or public thoroughfare. The specific role of the occupant (driver or passenger) is not documented or is unknown.

• Always assign an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., G83.9 for paralysis, M79.6 for chronic pain).
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past off-road vehicle accident.
• Do not use this code for acute injuries; it is exclusively for sequelae.
