Y92.149
ICD-10-CMUnspecified place in prison as the place of occurrence of the external cause
This code indicates that an injury or adverse event occurred within a correctional facility, but the specific location within the prison (e.g., cell, yard, infirmary) is not documented. It signifies that the patient was incarcerated at the time of the external cause.
Apply this code when medical documentation clearly states an injury or condition resulted from an external cause that took place within a prison setting, but no further detail about the exact location is provided. This is appropriate for incidents like assaults, falls, or self-harm occurring within the general confines of a correctional institution.
