War op involving explosion of marine mine, milt, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication arising from a military service member's exposure to the detonation of a marine mine during war operations. It indicates that the initial injury or event has led to persistent physical or psychological sequelae requiring ongoing medical attention.

Apply this code when documenting a current diagnosis directly attributable to injuries sustained from a marine mine explosion during wartime, affecting military personnel. This includes conditions like chronic pain, amputations, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, or other lasting impairments that are a direct result of the original incident.

• Always assign a primary code for the specific sequela (e.g., TBI, amputation, PTSD) in addition to this external cause code.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past war operation involving a marine mine explosion.
• This code is for military personnel only; different codes apply for civilians.
