Terorsm w oth explosn and fragmt, civilian injured, sequela

This code signifies long-term health consequences or complications arising from injuries sustained by a civilian in a terrorist act involving various types of explosions or fragmentation devices. It indicates that the patient is presenting for care related to a condition that is a direct result of such an event, occurring after the initial acute phase of injury.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a civilian patient experiencing chronic pain, disability, psychological trauma, or other persistent medical issues directly attributable to injuries from a terrorist bombing or similar explosive attack. This applies to situations where the patient is no longer in the immediate post-injury period but is dealing with the lasting effects.

• Always sequence this code after the specific code(s) for the sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture, PTSD).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past terrorist event involving explosions or fragments.
• Verify the patient's status as a civilian; different codes apply for military personnel.
