Garage of boarding-house as place

This code identifies that an injury or adverse event occurred within the garage area of a boarding house. It specifies the physical location where an external cause of morbidity took place, rather than the nature of the injury itself.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates an incident, such as a fall, burn, or poisoning, happened in the garage of a boarding house. This code is always a secondary code, used in conjunction with an external cause code and an injury code.

• Always pair this code with an external cause code (e.g., W00-Y34) and the primary injury diagnosis.
• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "boarding house" and "garage" to support the specificity of this code.
• Distinguish from a private residence garage (Y92.014) or other residential facilities.
