Fall from non-moving motorized mobility scooter, sequela

This code describes injuries or conditions that are a direct result of a patient falling from a non-moving motorized mobility scooter. It signifies that the fall itself occurred in the past, and the current encounter is for the treatment of a residual effect or complication from that previous event.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who sustained an injury from falling off a stationary motorized mobility scooter at an earlier date. This applies to scenarios where the initial injury has been treated, but the patient is now presenting with a chronic condition, disability, or other long-term consequence directly attributable to that fall.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., fracture nonunion, chronic pain, scar formation).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past fall from the non-moving motorized mobility scooter.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the acute injury; instead, use the acute injury code with the appropriate external cause code.
