Gas station as the place of occurrence of the external cause

This code identifies a gas station as the specific location where an external cause of injury or other adverse event occurred. It indicates that the patient's injury or condition resulted from an incident that took place on the premises of a gas station.

Use this code when documenting injuries sustained at a gas station, such as slips and falls on wet pavement near pumps, burns from fuel, or injuries from vehicle-related incidents occurring within the gas station property. It applies to any external cause that originates within the boundaries of a gas station.

• Always use this code as a secondary code, following the primary external cause code (e.g., W01 for fall).
• Ensure the medical record clearly documents the gas station as the site of the incident.
• Do not use if the incident occurred merely near a gas station but not on its property.
