Terrorism involving firearms, terrorist injured, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late-developing health condition directly resulting from a terrorist act involving firearms, where the patient was the victim. It indicates that the current medical issue is a consequence of a past firearm-related terrorist incident.

Apply this code when documenting conditions such as chronic pain, PTSD, scar tissue complications, or neurological deficits that are directly attributable to injuries sustained during a terrorist attack involving firearms. This code is used for subsequent encounters after the initial injury has been treated, when the sequelae are being addressed.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) identifying the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, PTSD).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past firearm-related terrorist event.
• This code is for the injured terrorist victim, not the perpetrator or an uninjured witness.
