Ultralt/microlt/pwr-glider crash injuring occupant, subs

This code indicates that an individual sustained injuries as an occupant in an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider crash. The "XD" extension signifies that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Use this code when a patient presents for ongoing treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or medication management, related to injuries sustained in an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider accident. This applies after the initial acute phase of treatment has concluded.

• Always ensure the "D" for subsequent encounter is appended when appropriate.
• Pair this external cause code with the specific injury codes (e.g., fractures, lacerations) sustained by the patient.
• Do not use for initial treatment of the injury; refer to the "A" initial encounter code for that scenario.
