Self-harm by jumping or lying in front of mtr veh, subs

This code describes injuries sustained by an individual who intentionally placed themselves in the path of a motor vehicle with the intent to cause self-harm, during a subsequent encounter for treatment. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for injuries resulting from a deliberate act of self-inflicted harm involving a motor vehicle.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits, rehabilitation, or long-term care related to injuries from a suicide attempt by being struck by or placing oneself in front of a motor vehicle. It should be used after the initial acute treatment phase for these specific injuries.

• Always sequence this code after the primary injury code(s).
• Ensure documentation clearly states "subsequent encounter" and confirms the intentional nature of the self-harm.
• Do not use for accidental injuries or if the intent of self-harm is not explicitly documented.
