Milt op w explosn of unsp marine weapon, civilian, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health consequence or complication arising from a civilian's exposure to an explosion of an unspecified marine weapon during military operations. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but residual effects persist, impacting the individual's current health status.

Apply this code when documenting a current condition directly attributable to a past injury from a marine weapon explosion during military operations, affecting a civilian. This would be used for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of chronic issues stemming from such an event.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., T90.5XXS for sequela of intracranial injury).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past marine weapon explosion and specifies the patient's civilian status.
• Verify that the encounter is for the management of the long-term effect, not the initial acute injury.
