Pool of residential institution as place

This code identifies an injury or adverse event that occurred within a residential facility not otherwise specified, such as a group home, halfway house, or other structured living environment. It indicates the physical location where the external cause of the patient's condition took place, rather than the type of activity or intent.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states the patient's injury or condition originated in a residential institution that doesn't fit more specific categories like nursing homes (Y92.12x) or prisons (Y92.13x). Examples include falls, assaults, or accidental poisonings occurring within a supervised group living arrangement for individuals with disabilities or substance use disorders.

• Always use this as a secondary code to describe the place of occurrence, never as a primary diagnosis.
• Ensure the medical record specifies a "residential institution" that isn't covered by more specific Y92.1 codes.
• If the exact type of residential institution is known and has a more specific Y92.1 code, use that instead.
