Garden or yard in single-family (private) house as place

This code identifies the specific location of an external cause of injury or other health condition as the garden or yard area of a private, single-family residence. It pinpoints the immediate environment where an incident occurred, distinguishing it from other parts of the home or property.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates an injury or adverse event happened in the garden, backyard, front yard, or any outdoor green space associated with a standalone private home. Examples include falls while gardening, stings from insects encountered in the yard, or injuries from outdoor equipment used on the property.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the incident occurred in the garden or yard of a single-family home, not a multi-unit dwelling or public park.
• This code is a "place of occurrence" code and must be used as a secondary code following an external cause code (V00-Y99).
• Do not use if the incident occurred inside the house, on a porch/deck directly attached to the house, or in a detached garage.
