Garage on military base as place

This code identifies an incident where an injury or adverse event occurred within a garage situated on a military installation. It specifies the physical location of the external cause, indicating the event took place in a structure primarily used for parking or maintaining vehicles within a military facility.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states that a patient's injury or condition resulted from an external cause that happened in a garage located on a military base. This could include incidents like falls, motor vehicle accidents within the garage, or exposures to hazardous materials in such a setting.

• Always assign this code as a secondary code, following the primary external cause code (e.g., W01.XXXA for a fall).
• Ensure the documentation explicitly mentions both "garage" and "military base" for accurate application.
• Do not use if the garage is not on a military base; other Y92 codes specify different garage locations.
