Private garage of single-family (private) house as place

This code identifies that an injury or adverse event occurred within the private garage of a single-family dwelling. This location is distinct from other areas of the home or property and is typically used for parking vehicles, storage, or as a workshop.

Apply this code when documenting the place of occurrence for external causes of morbidity, such as falls, carbon monoxide poisoning from a running vehicle, or injuries sustained during DIY projects within a home's private garage. It is used in conjunction with an external cause code (V00-Y99) and the primary injury code.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis following the external cause code and the primary injury code.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states the incident occurred in the "private garage" of a "single-family house."
• Distinguish from other Y92 codes that specify different locations within or around a private home.
