Person inj in unsp nonmotor-vehicle acc, nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a sequela (late effect) resulting from an injury sustained by an individual in a non-motor vehicle accident that occurred in a non-traffic setting. The specific type of non-motor vehicle accident is not identified.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic condition or complication directly attributable to an old injury from an unspecified non-motor vehicle accident that did not happen on a public roadway. This typically involves follow-up care for long-term effects rather than the initial acute injury.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to a past non-motor vehicle, non-traffic accident.
• Avoid using this code for initial injury encounters; it is exclusively for late effects.
