Terrorism involving unspecified means, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or sequelae directly related to an injury or condition sustained during a terrorist act where the specific method of attack is not documented. It indicates that the initial injury or condition has already been treated, and the current encounter addresses ongoing management, complications, or rehabilitation.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for physical or psychological injuries resulting from an unspecified terrorist event. This includes scenarios like physical therapy for a chronic injury, mental health counseling for PTSD, or follow-up appointments for long-term complications directly attributable to the initial incident.

• Always assign an additional code(s) for the specific injury or condition being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current encounter to the initial terrorist event.
• Verify that the encounter is indeed "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the injury.
