Bedroom in oth residential institution as place

This code identifies a bedroom within a residential institution, other than a nursing home or assisted living facility, as the location where an injury or adverse event occurred. It specifies the physical environment where the external cause of a patient's condition originated.

Apply this code when documenting an injury or adverse event that took place in a patient's bedroom within a facility such as a group home, halfway house, or correctional institution. This is used in conjunction with an external cause code (e.g., fall, assault) and the primary diagnosis code for the injury.

• Always use this as a secondary code to provide context for an external cause and primary injury diagnosis.
• Distinguish carefully between "other specified residential institution" and nursing homes (Y92.12x) or assisted living facilities (Y92.16x).
• Ensure the medical record clearly documents the specific type of residential institution and that the event occurred in a bedroom within that institution.
