Lgl intervnt w unsp firearm disch, law enforc offl inj, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by a law enforcement official during a legal intervention involving an unspecified firearm discharge. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment for the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, or evaluation of complications for a law enforcement officer who was injured by a firearm discharge during a legal intervention. It would be used for visits occurring after the initial emergency room visit or hospitalization.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient is a law enforcement official and the injury occurred during a legal intervention.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm that the firearm type was not specified in the medical record.
