Accident to, on or involving land-yacht, initial encounter

This code signifies an injury or adverse event sustained by an individual due to an accident involving a land-yacht. This includes incidents where the patient was a passenger, operator, or was otherwise involved in a collision or mishap with this type of vehicle. The "A" suffix indicates that this is the initial encounter for this specific injury.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for injuries resulting from an accident involving a land-yacht, such as a rollover, collision with another object, or a pedestrian being struck by one. This code is appropriate for emergency department visits, initial physician office visits, or hospital admissions directly following such an incident.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the patient's involvement with a land-yacht accident.
• Always append the appropriate seventh character (A, D, or S) to indicate the encounter type.
• Do not use this code for accidents involving traditional sailing vessels or other types of land vehicles.
