Fall, jump or pushed from a high place, undet intent, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained from a fall, jump, or being pushed from an elevated location, where the intent (accidental, self-harm, or assault) cannot be definitively determined. This particular code is used for encounters following the initial treatment of such an injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of complications stemming from an injury initially caused by falling, jumping, or being pushed from a high place, and the circumstances surrounding the event remain unclear regarding intent. This would include scenarios where the patient is unable to provide a clear history, or witnesses offer conflicting accounts.

• Always sequence this external cause code after the primary diagnosis code(s) for the actual injury sustained.
• Ensure documentation clearly indicates the "undetermined intent" and that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters; a different seventh character (A) would be appropriate for the first visit.
