Opera house as the place of occurrence of the external cause

This code indicates that an injury or other adverse health event occurred within the physical confines of an opera house. It specifies the location where an external cause of morbidity took place, providing crucial environmental context for the patient's condition. This information helps to understand the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Apply this code when documenting an injury, accident, or other external cause that specifically happened at an opera house. Examples include falls on stairs, incidents involving stage equipment, or altercations that occurred within the venue. It is used in conjunction with codes describing the nature of the injury and the external cause.

• Always use this code as a secondary code to provide context for an external cause code (V00-Y99).
• Ensure the medical record clearly documents the opera house as the specific location of the incident.
• Do not use for events occurring in other types of theaters or performance venues; a more specific "place of occurrence" code should be selected if available.
