Contact w explosive material, undetermined intent, init

This code describes an injury or adverse health effect resulting from exposure to explosive material where the intent (e.g., accidental, self-harm, assault) cannot be determined. It signifies the initial presentation of a patient for treatment of such an event.

Use this code when a patient presents with injuries sustained from an explosion, and the medical documentation does not clearly specify whether the event was accidental, intentional self-harm, or an assault. This is appropriate for the first time the patient is seen for this particular incident.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific injury(ies) sustained.
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "undetermined intent" or lacks sufficient detail to classify intent.
• Do not use if intent (accidental, assault, self-harm) is clearly documented.
