Terrorism involving dest arcrft, terrorist injured, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health consequence or complication arising from a terrorist act involving the destruction of an aircraft, where the individual themselves was a perpetrator or directly involved in the act as a terrorist and sustained injuries. It indicates that the patient is presenting for treatment of a condition that is a direct result of the initial injury sustained during the terrorist event.

Use this code when documenting the sequelae of injuries sustained by a terrorist involved in an aircraft destruction event. This would apply to follow-up visits for chronic pain, permanent disabilities, psychological disorders, or other lasting health issues directly attributable to the original incident. It should be used after the acute phase of injury has passed.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, PTSD).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original terrorist incident and specifies the patient's role as a terrorist.
• Do not use this code for initial acute injuries; instead, use the appropriate acute injury codes from the Y38 category.
