Terrorism involving suicide bomber, civilian injured, subs

This code signifies that a civilian has sustained injuries as a direct result of a terrorist act involving a suicide bomber. It specifically indicates that the patient is being seen for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of complications from these initial injuries. The encounter is not for the initial presentation of the trauma.

Apply this code for subsequent visits related to injuries sustained by a civilian in a suicide bomber attack. This includes appointments for wound care, physical therapy, psychological counseling, or management of chronic conditions stemming from the initial event. It should be used after the initial acute care phase.

• Always pair this code with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to specify the nature of the injury.
• Ensure the encounter is truly "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the injury.
• Verify the patient's status as a "civilian" as opposed to military or law enforcement personnel.
