Milt op involving explosion of aerial bomb, milt, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a military service member's exposure to an aerial bomb explosion during military operations. It covers the lasting physical and psychological effects that manifest after the initial injury has healed or stabilized.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela, such as chronic pain, traumatic brain injury (TBI) residuals, hearing loss, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), directly attributable to an aerial bomb explosion experienced by military personnel. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent conditions.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., TBI, PTSD).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past military aerial bomb explosion.
• This code is for military personnel only; do not use for civilian casualties.
