Y36.880A
ICD-10-CMOther war operations occurring after cessation of hostilities, military personnel, initial encounter
This code signifies injuries or adverse effects sustained by military personnel due to war-related activities that occur after the official end of armed conflict. These events are distinct from direct combat and may involve unexploded ordnance, booby traps, or other lingering dangers from the conflict. It specifically denotes the initial presentation for care related to such an incident.
Apply this code when a service member presents for the first time with an injury or condition directly resulting from a post-hostility war operation. Examples include a soldier injured by a landmine discovered during a peacekeeping mission after a ceasefire, or a veteran harmed by an unexploded device found years later in a former conflict zone.
