War op w dest arcrft due to clsn w oth arcrft, civ, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health consequence or complication arising from a civilian aircraft being destroyed due to a collision with another aircraft during war operations. It indicates that the patient is presenting for care related to an injury or condition that is a direct result of this specific type of wartime incident, occurring after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

This code is appropriate when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, amputation, PTSD, scar tissue) directly attributable to a civilian aircraft collision during war operations. It should be used for follow-up encounters or when the primary injury has healed but its lasting effects are being treated. Do not use for initial or acute injury treatment.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., T90.5 for sequelae of intracranial injury, L90.5 for scar conditions).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the specified war operation and aircraft destruction.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates sequela; verify the encounter is for a residual effect, not an active injury.
