Bathroom in prison as place

This code identifies a specific location where an external cause of injury or other adverse event occurred: a bathroom within a correctional facility. It indicates that the patient was in a prison bathroom when the incident leading to their injury or condition took place.

This code is used when documenting an injury, poisoning, or other adverse event that occurred to an incarcerated individual while they were in a bathroom located within a prison. Examples include slips, falls, assaults, or other incidents that happen in this specific environment. It helps to provide granular detail about the circumstances surrounding the external cause.

• Always use this code as a secondary code to an external cause code (V00-Y99) and the primary diagnosis code.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states the incident occurred in a "prison bathroom" or similar terminology.
• Do not use if the incident occurred in a bathroom outside of a correctional facility, even if the patient is an inmate (e.g., during transport to a hospital).
