Unspecified aircraft accident injuring occupant, subs encntr

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or treatment of injuries sustained in an unspecified aircraft accident, where the patient was an occupant. The initial incident is not clearly defined beyond being an aircraft-related event, and the patient is no longer in the acute phase of care.

Use this code for subsequent visits related to injuries from an aircraft accident when the specific type of aircraft or the nature of the accident (e.g., crash, forced landing) is not documented. This applies to patients receiving ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or evaluation for complications arising from the original event.

• Always sequence this code after the codes for the specific injuries being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly indicates "subsequent encounter" for the injury management.
• Avoid using this code if the type of aircraft or accident is specified; look for more specific V95 codes.
