Legal intervnt w manhandling, law enforc offl injured, subs

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for an injury sustained by a law enforcement official due to manhandling during a legal intervention. It specifically captures the context of the injury rather than the nature of the injury itself. The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the same injury.

Use this code when a law enforcement official presents for follow-up care (e.g., wound check, physical therapy, medication refill) for an injury that occurred during an incident where they were manhandled as part of a legal intervention. This code is appended to the primary injury code to provide external cause context.

• Always pair this code with a primary injury code (e.g., fracture, sprain, contusion) to describe the specific injury sustained.
• Ensure the "D" suffix is appropriate for a subsequent encounter; use "A" for initial encounters and "S" for sequela.
• Verify documentation clearly states the injury occurred to a law enforcement official during a legal intervention involving manhandling.
