Milt op involving explosion of depth-charge, milt, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication arising from a military service member's exposure to a depth-charge explosion during military operations. It indicates that the initial injury or event has led to a lasting consequence requiring ongoing medical attention or management.

This code is appropriate for documenting any residual effects, chronic conditions, or late-onset symptoms directly attributable to a depth-charge explosion experienced by military personnel. It should be used when the patient presents for treatment of a sequela, not the initial acute injury.

• 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 depth-charge explosion during military operations.
• This code is for military personnel only; do not use for civilian injuries.
