Person inj in clsn betw car and pk-up/van, nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a delayed or residual condition resulting from an injury sustained in a collision between a car and a pick-up truck or van. The collision occurred in a non-traffic environment, meaning it did not happen on a public highway or road. The sequela could be any long-term effect of the original injury, such as chronic pain, limited mobility, or neurological deficits.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition that is a direct consequence of a past, non-traffic collision involving a car and a pick-up truck or van. This applies when the acute phase of the original injury has passed, and the patient is now being treated for the lasting effects. It is appropriate for follow-up visits or when the sequela is the primary reason for the encounter.

• Always code the specific sequela first, followed by this external cause code.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the collision was "nontraffic" and involved a "car" and "pick-up truck or van."
• Verify the encounter is for a sequela and not an acute injury from the initial event.
