Civilian arcrft in air trnsp acc w military arcrft, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an air transport accident where a civilian aircraft collided with a military aircraft. It indicates that the patient's current medical condition is a direct consequence of such an incident.

This code is appropriate for documenting sequelae, such as chronic pain, permanent disabilities, or psychological conditions, that are directly attributable to a past air collision between civilian and military aircraft. It should be used when the acute phase of the injury has passed and the patient is being treated for residual effects.

• Always use this code with an additional code(s) specifying the nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, PTSD).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the historical air transport accident.
• This code is for civilian occupants; military personnel involved in the same incident would be coded differently.
