Intentional collision of motor vehicle with tree, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a deliberate motor vehicle collision with a tree. It indicates that the patient is presenting for care related to an injury or condition that is a direct consequence of such an event, occurring after the acute phase of the initial injury.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care, rehabilitation, or treatment for chronic conditions (e.g., chronic pain, neurological deficits, psychological sequelae) that are directly attributable to an intentional motor vehicle collision with a tree. This applies when the original injury has healed, but its lasting impact is still being addressed.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, traumatic brain injury).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional motor vehicle accident with a tree.
• Do not use for initial encounters or active treatment of acute injuries from the original event.
