Fall due to controlled fire, not in bldg, subs

This code signifies an injury resulting from a fall caused by a controlled fire that occurred outside of a building or other constructed enclosure. This specific encounter is for follow-up care after the initial injury has been addressed.

Apply this code for subsequent visits related to injuries sustained when a patient fell due to a controlled outdoor fire, such as a campfire, bonfire, or controlled burn in a field. This would be used for ongoing treatment, wound checks, or physical therapy after the initial presentation.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the fall was due to a controlled fire and occurred outside a building.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
• Always code the specific injury sustained from the fall (e.g., fracture, sprain) as the primary diagnosis.
