Asslt by strike agnst or bumped into by another person, subs

This code describes injuries sustained from a physical assault where the patient was struck or bumped by another individual, specifically during a follow-up visit. It indicates that the initial treatment for the assault has already occurred, and the patient is now receiving ongoing care for the resulting injuries.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters related to an assault where the patient was physically struck or bumped by another person. Examples include follow-up appointments for wound care, fracture management, or monitoring of internal injuries resulting from the initial assault. It should be used after the initial encounter code (Y04.2XXA) has been reported.

• Always pair with an external cause code (e.g., X92.- to X99.-) to specify the intent of the assault.
• Ensure the seventh character "D" is used for subsequent encounters, indicating ongoing care.
• Do not use for initial treatment of the assault; refer to the "A" seventh character for that scenario.
