Terorsm w explosn of marine weap, publ sfty offcl inj, sqla

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication arising from an injury sustained by a public safety official due to a terrorist act involving the detonation of marine-based weaponry. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but its lasting effects are still present and require ongoing medical attention.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, PTSD, permanent disability, organ damage) in a public safety official whose original injury was directly caused by a terrorist explosion of marine weapons. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., G89.29 for chronic pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original terrorist incident involving marine weapons and identifies the patient as a public safety official.
• Verify that the encounter is for the management of a long-term effect, not the initial injury or an acute exacerbation.
