Kitchen on military base as place

This code identifies an injury or adverse event that occurred within a kitchen environment located on a military installation. It specifies the physical setting of the incident, indicating that the patient was in a food preparation area within a military base when the external cause of their condition took place.

Use this code when documenting injuries sustained by military personnel or civilians while working in or visiting a kitchen on a military base. Examples include burns from cooking equipment, cuts from kitchen utensils, or slips and falls on wet kitchen floors within a military facility. It should be assigned as a secondary code to specify the location of an external cause.

• Always pair this code with an external cause code (V00-Y99) and an injury code (S00-T88).
• Ensure the medical record clearly documents both the type of injury and the specific location as a kitchen on a military base.
• Do not use this code for kitchens in civilian residences or non-military commercial establishments.
