Garden or yard of boarding-house as place

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

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates an incident, such as a fall, insect bite, or other environmental exposure, happened in the outdoor grounds of a boarding house. This is used in conjunction with codes describing the actual injury and the external cause.

• Always sequence this as a secondary code following the primary injury code and the external cause code.
• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "boarding house" and "garden" or "yard" for accurate assignment.
• Distinguish from other residential settings; this code is specific to boarding houses.
