Intentional collision of motor vehicle w mtr veh, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from an intentional motor vehicle collision involving two or more vehicles. It is used to document conditions that are a direct consequence of such an event, manifesting after the acute phase of injury has passed.

Apply this code when a patient presents for treatment of a chronic condition, disability, or other sequela directly attributable to an intentional motor vehicle-on-motor vehicle collision that occurred in the past. Examples include chronic pain syndromes, permanent neurological deficits, or psychological disorders stemming from the original incident.

• 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 the past intentional motor vehicle collision.
• Do not use for acute injuries from the initial collision; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
