Terrorism involving nuclear weapons, terrorist injured, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or ongoing treatment of injuries sustained during a terrorist attack involving nuclear weapons. It indicates that the patient was directly harmed in such an event and is now receiving subsequent medical attention for those injuries.

Apply this code for patients returning for wound care, physical therapy, psychological counseling, or management of chronic conditions directly resulting from a nuclear terrorism incident. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial emergency treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was injured in a nuclear terrorism event and this is not the initial treatment.
• Always use in conjunction with codes for the specific injuries or conditions being treated.
• Verify the encounter type is subsequent (e.g., follow-up, rehabilitation, ongoing management).
