Terrorism involving firearms, civilian injured, subs encntr

This code signifies that a civilian has sustained injuries due to a terrorist act involving firearms, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial treatment. It indicates that the immediate, acute phase of care has passed, and the patient is now receiving ongoing management for their injuries.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters related to injuries sustained by a civilian in a firearm-related terrorist incident. This includes visits for wound care, physical therapy, psychological counseling, or any other ongoing treatment after the initial hospital admission or emergency department visit. Do not use this code for the initial presentation of the injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the injury resulted from a terrorist act and involved firearms.
• Confirm the patient is a civilian, not military personnel or law enforcement.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
