Oth ultralt/microlt/pwr-glider acc inj occupant, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an accident involving an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider aircraft, where the patient was an occupant. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but its lasting effects are now being treated or evaluated.

Apply this code when a patient presents for treatment of a chronic condition, disability, or other residual effect directly attributable to a past ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider accident. This includes scenarios like ongoing pain, limited mobility, or neurological deficits stemming from such an event.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider accident.
• The "S" in the seventh character indicates sequela; do not use this code for initial or subsequent encounters for the acute injury.
