Explosion on board sailboat, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or treatment of injuries sustained from an explosion that occurred on a sailboat. It indicates that the initial incident and immediate care have already taken place, and the current encounter is for ongoing management of the resulting conditions.

Use this code for subsequent visits related to injuries such as burns, concussions, fractures, or internal trauma caused by a sailboat explosion. This includes appointments for wound care, physical therapy, medication management, or diagnostic testing after the initial acute phase of treatment.

• Always pair with an injury code (e.g., T20-T25 for burns, S06 for intracranial injury) to specify the nature of the injury.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter, indicating active treatment or recovery.
• Distinguish from initial encounters (A) or sequela (S) for the same incident.
