Person injured in oth trnsp acc w non-mv, nontraf, sequela

This code indicates a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained in a non-motor vehicle, non-traffic transport accident. This means the original incident involved conveyances like bicycles, scooters, or animal-drawn vehicles, but occurred off public roadways, and the patient is now presenting with a residual effect of that past injury.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela, such as chronic pain, scar contracture, or neurological deficit, that is directly attributable to an injury from a past non-motorized transport accident occurring in a non-traffic setting (e.g., a bicycle accident in a park, a fall from a horse on private property). This code is used when the acute injury has healed, but its lasting effects are being treated.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the past non-motor vehicle, non-traffic accident.
• Verify the "S" seventh character is appropriate for sequela; do not use for initial encounter or subsequent care.
