Unsp nonpowered-aircraft accident injuring occupant, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication arising from an unspecified accident involving a non-powered aircraft, such as a glider or hot air balloon, where the patient was an occupant. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but residual effects or sequelae persist.

Use this code when documenting a current health problem that is a direct consequence of a past non-powered aircraft accident, and the specific type of aircraft or accident details are not further specified. This applies when the patient is presenting for treatment of these lasting effects, rather than the initial injury.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past non-powered aircraft accident.
• Avoid using this code if the initial injury is still active or if the aircraft type is known and a more specific code is available.
