Terorsm w nuclear weapons, publ sfty offcl injured, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health consequence or complication arising from a public safety official's injury sustained during a terrorist act involving nuclear weapons. It indicates that the initial injury has led to a lasting condition requiring ongoing medical attention or management.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic radiation sickness, cancer, organ damage) in a public safety official who was injured in a nuclear weapons terrorist attack. This code is appropriate for encounters addressing the residual effects of the original injury, not the acute event itself.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original nuclear weapons terrorism injury.
• Verify the patient's role as a public safety official at the time of the incident.
