• Always sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the injury is the focus of the encounter.
• Concurrently code all specific injuries sustained (e.g., fractures, burns, lacerations) with their respective ICD-10-CM codes.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient is a civilian and the injury resulted from a suicide bomber in a terrorist act.
