Activity, american tackle football

This code identifies the specific activity of participating in American tackle football as the cause of an injury or other adverse health event. It indicates that the patient's condition arose directly from their involvement in this organized sport.

This code is used as an external cause code when a patient presents with an injury sustained during a tackle football game, practice, or related activity. It helps to provide context for the injury, such as fractures, sprains, concussions, or other trauma occurring on the field.

• Always use in conjunction with an injury code (e.g., S06.0X0A for concussion).
• Ensure documentation explicitly states the injury occurred during American tackle football.
• Distinguish from other football variants (e.g., soccer, rugby) which have different activity codes.
