Person injured in collision betw mtr veh, nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or condition arising from an injury sustained in a motor vehicle collision that occurred off a public roadway. The collision involved a type of motor vehicle not otherwise specified, such as an ATV, golf cart, or industrial vehicle. The "sequela" aspect indicates that the injury's acute phase has passed, and the patient is now being treated for residual effects.

Use this code when documenting conditions like chronic pain, limited range of motion, neurological deficits, or scarring that are directly attributable to a past nontraffic motor vehicle accident involving an unspecified vehicle. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where the primary focus is managing these lasting consequences, rather than the initial injury itself.

• Always use in conjunction with a code identifying the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, fracture malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past nontraffic motor vehicle accident.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates sequela and should be used for encounters related to the late effects of the injury.
