Person injured in clsn betw mtr veh and 2/3-whl mv, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or residual effect stemming from a past traffic accident involving a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, scooter) and another motor vehicle. It indicates that the patient is presenting for treatment of a condition directly attributable to this specific type of collision that occurred in the past.

Apply this code when a patient is being treated for a chronic condition, disability, or late-developing symptom that is a direct consequence of a previous traffic accident between a motorcycle/scooter and another vehicle. This includes conditions like chronic pain, nerve damage, scar tissue complications, or psychological sequelae (e.g., PTSD) that manifest or persist long after the initial injury.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past motor vehicle accident.
• The "S" seventh character indicates sequela and should only be used for conditions treated long after the initial injury has healed.
