Milt op involving explosion of marine mine, milt, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a military service member's exposure to an explosion of a marine mine during military operations. It indicates that the primary injury event occurred in the past, and the patient is now presenting with residual effects directly attributable to that incident.

Apply this code when documenting any current health issue, disability, or chronic condition in a military veteran or active-duty personnel that is a direct consequence of being involved in a marine mine explosion during their service. This includes physical injuries, psychological trauma, or other sequelae that manifest years after the initial event.

• Always use 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 military incident involving a marine mine explosion.
• Verify the patient's military personnel status at the time of the incident.
