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

This code indicates that an individual sustained injuries as an occupant in a collision involving an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider aircraft, and they are now receiving follow-up care for those injuries. This includes any subsequent treatment, rehabilitation, or monitoring related to the initial incident.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing medical attention for injuries sustained in such an aircraft collision after the initial acute treatment has been rendered. This applies to visits for physical therapy, wound care, follow-up imaging, or medication management related to the original trauma.

• Always pair this code with an external cause code (V-code) to specify the type of injury.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is used only for subsequent encounters, not initial treatment or sequelae.
• Verify documentation clearly indicates the patient is an occupant and not a pedestrian or other party involved.
