Person inj in clsn betw car and 2/3-whl mv, nontraf, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained in a collision between a car and a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, moped, scooter). The collision occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or farm. This code is used when the initial injury has healed, but the patient is still experiencing residual problems directly attributable to the accident.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for conditions like chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or psychological sequelae (e.g., PTSD) that are a direct result of a car-versus-motorcycle collision. This code is appropriate for patients presenting for rehabilitation, ongoing pain management, or evaluation of persistent symptoms years after the initial incident.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic knee pain, post-traumatic arthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past non-traffic collision event.
• Verify the collision involved a car and a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, and specifically occurred in a non-traffic setting.
