Milt op w acc deton onboard marine weapons, milt, subs

This code describes injuries or conditions sustained by military personnel during a subsequent encounter for an incident involving the accidental explosion of weapons carried on a marine vessel during military operations. It specifically indicates that the patient is being seen for follow-up care, complications, or sequelae related to the initial event.

Use this code for any subsequent healthcare encounter where a military patient is being treated for injuries or conditions directly resulting from an accidental detonation of onboard marine weapons during military operations. This includes follow-up appointments, rehabilitation, or management of long-term complications after the initial acute care has been rendered.

• Ensure the patient is military personnel and the incident involved marine weapons.
• Verify that the encounter is not the initial treatment for the injury.
• Always code with an external cause code (V-Y codes) and an injury code to fully describe the patient's condition.
