Tidal wave due to landslide, subsequent encounter

This code indicates a patient presenting for follow-up care related to injuries or conditions sustained from a tidal wave that was caused by a landslide. It signifies that the initial event has passed, and the patient is now receiving ongoing management for the sequelae of this specific natural disaster.

Use this code for patients returning for subsequent appointments after their initial treatment for injuries like fractures, lacerations, or psychological trauma directly attributable to a tidal wave caused by a landslide. It is appropriate for managing complications, monitoring recovery, or providing rehabilitation services following the acute phase.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial presentation.
• Verify that the tidal wave was explicitly caused by a landslide.
• Combine with codes for specific injuries or conditions being treated.
