Kitchen in mobile home as place

This code identifies the specific location within a mobile home where an injury or adverse event occurred, specifically the kitchen area. It indicates that the external cause of the patient's condition originated in this particular setting.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states that an incident, such as a fall, burn, or poisoning, took place in the kitchen of a mobile home. This is used in conjunction with an external cause code (e.g., W01.XXXA for fall on same level) to provide a complete picture of the circumstances surrounding the injury.

• Always sequence this code after the external cause code (V00-Y99) and the primary injury code.
• Ensure the documentation explicitly mentions "mobile home" and "kitchen" as the site of the event.
• Do not use if the incident occurred in a kitchen of a permanent dwelling or other type of residence.
