Y36.890A
ICD-10-CMUnspecified war operations occurring after cessation of hostilities, military personnel, initial encounter
This code signifies an injury or adverse health event sustained by military personnel due to unspecified war-related activities that occurred after the official end of armed conflict. It indicates that the specific nature of the war operation is not documented, but the event is directly attributable to the post-hostilities environment. This is for the initial presentation of the injury or condition.
This code is appropriate for military personnel presenting with injuries from unexploded ordnance, landmines, or other residual dangers of war in a post-conflict zone, where the exact type of war operation leading to the injury is not specified. It would also apply to conditions arising from exposure to unidentifiable hazardous materials left behind from war operations after hostilities have ceased.
