Clinical Description

This code signifies an injury sustained by a civilian due to an explosive device, specifically a bomb, that was deployed during wartime but detonated after the conflict officially ended. The injury occurred during a subsequent encounter for the initial injury or a complication thereof.

When to Use

This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up care for a civilian patient who was injured by a landmine, unexploded ordnance, or similar device left over from a war. It applies when the patient is seen for ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or management of long-term sequelae related to the initial explosion injury.

Coding Tips

Ensure the patient is explicitly documented as a civilian and not military personnel.
