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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an occupant in an unspecified ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider accident, where the patient is receiving follow-up care for the initial injury. The specific type of ultralight aircraft involved in the accident is not documented. This code is used after the initial treatment phase for the injury.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is being treated for complications, healing, or rehabilitation stemming from an injury sustained as an occupant in an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider accident. This applies when the documentation does not specify the exact type of ultralight aircraft involved. Examples include follow-up appointments for fracture care, wound checks, or physical therapy related to the initial accident.

• Always pair this external cause code with an injury code (e.g., fracture, sprain) to describe the specific injury sustained.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for subsequent encounters; do not use for initial treatment or sequelae.
• Verify documentation explicitly states the patient was an "occupant" and the incident involved an "ultralight, microlight or powered-glider" without further specification.
