Assault by push/place victim in front of train, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications resulting from an assault where the victim was pushed or placed in front of a train, such as a subway train. It covers any physical or psychological sequelae that manifest after the initial incident. This includes chronic pain, neurological damage, amputations, or severe psychological trauma directly attributable to the assault.

Use this code when documenting any residual conditions or late effects stemming from an assault where the mechanism of injury was being pushed or placed in front of a train. This applies to follow-up visits, rehabilitation, or mental health services addressing the lasting impact of such an event. It should be assigned after the acute phase of injury has passed.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific residual condition(s) being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past assault by train.
• Do not use for initial encounters or acute injuries; those require acute injury codes.
