Unsp ultralt/microlt/pwr-glider acc injuring occupant, init

This code signifies an accident involving an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider aircraft that results in injury to an occupant, where the specific type of ultralight is not detailed. It captures the initial phase of care for injuries sustained in such an incident. The "unspecified" nature indicates a lack of more granular detail regarding the aircraft involved.

Assign this code when documenting an occupant's injury from an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider accident, and the medical record does not specify the exact type of ultralight aircraft. This is appropriate for the initial encounter for treatment of the injuries. It should be used in conjunction with codes for the specific injuries sustained.

• Always code the specific injuries sustained by the occupant in addition to this external cause code.
• Ensure the encounter is the "initial encounter" for treatment of the injury. Subsequent encounters would use different seventh characters.
• If the specific type of ultralight aircraft is documented (e.g., weight-shift-controlled, powered parachute), a more specific V95.1- subcategory code should be used instead.
