Oth air transport accident involving military aircraft, subs

This code describes injuries or health conditions resulting from a non-fatal air transport accident involving a military aircraft, where the patient is being seen for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury. It signifies that the patient's current encounter is for ongoing management, healing, or complications related to the original incident.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing care for injuries sustained in an air transport accident involving a military aircraft, such as physical therapy, wound care, or follow-up appointments for fracture healing. This applies when the initial acute treatment for the injury has concluded, and the patient is in the recovery phase.

• Always pair this external cause code with an injury code describing the specific condition being treated.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter, indicating ongoing care.
• Verify that the aircraft involved was explicitly military, as other aircraft types have different external cause codes.
