Forced landing of ultralt/microlt/pwr-glider inj occ, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an occupant during a forced landing of an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider. It specifically applies to follow-up care for such an injury, not the initial treatment. The "forced landing" implies an unplanned or emergency descent of the aircraft.

Use this code for any subsequent encounter where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment or evaluation for injuries directly resulting from a forced landing of an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider. This includes follow-up appointments for fracture care, wound checks, physical therapy, or medication management related to the initial incident.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment, as indicated by the "D" seventh character.
• Confirm the injury was sustained by an occupant of an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider during a forced landing.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained in addition to this external cause code.
