2025 ICD-10-CM code V84.1XXS
(Active) Effective Date: N/A External causes of morbidity - Other land transport accidents 20 Feed
Passenger of special agricultural vehicle injured in traffic accident, sequela.
The medical necessity for services related to the sequelae of the accident should be documented and linked to the original injury. The documentation should demonstrate how the current condition is impacting the patient's function and overall health, and how the services provided are necessary for the patient's care.
In simple words: This code indicates long-term health problems that resulted from a traffic accident where the patient was a passenger in a special agricultural vehicle, like a tractor or combine harvester, on a public road.
This code describes the late effects (sequelae) of injuries sustained by a passenger of a specialized agricultural vehicle involved in a traffic accident. A sequela is the residual effect of an injury after the initial injury has healed. A traffic accident is one that occurs on a public highway (or trafficway) or street.
Example 1: A farmer was a passenger in a tractor on a public road when it collided with a car. The farmer initially suffered a broken leg, which has now healed, but they experience chronic pain and limited mobility as a lasting effect of the injury. V84.1XXS would be used to code the long-term effects of the broken leg., A farmhand was riding as a passenger in a self-propelled combine harvester on a public road when it overturned. Initially, the farmhand sustained internal injuries. While the injuries have resolved, there are ongoing complications impacting organ function. V84.1XXS is used to document the sequelae of these injuries., An individual was a passenger in a tractor-trailer hauling agricultural products on the highway when it was involved in a collision. Among other injuries, they experienced a traumatic brain injury. While the acute phase of the injury is over, cognitive impairments persist. Code V84.1XXS captures the long-term consequences of the brain injury.
Documentation should support the late effects (sequelae) from the original injuries sustained as a passenger in the special agricultural vehicle accident. This may include medical records, imaging reports, therapy notes, and physician's assessments detailing the current condition and its relationship to the prior accident. The documentation should specify the type of special agricultural vehicle involved, such as a combine, thresher, reaper, tractor or farm machinery.
