Terrorism involving firearms, publ sfty offcl injured, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by a public safety official due to a terrorist act involving firearms, specifically during a subsequent encounter for treatment or evaluation. It indicates that the initial injury has already been addressed, and the patient is now receiving follow-up care related to that specific event.

Use this code for any follow-up visits, such as wound care, physical therapy, or psychological counseling, for a public safety official injured by firearms in a terrorist attack. This applies after the initial acute treatment has been rendered and the patient is no longer in the initial phase of care.

• Always use in conjunction with an injury code (e.g., T-code) to specify the nature of the injury.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for subsequent encounters; "A" is for initial, "S" for sequela.
• Verify the patient's status as a public safety official and the mechanism as firearms in a terrorist act.
