Garage of residential institution as place

This code identifies an injury or adverse event that occurred within a garage specifically associated with a residential institution other than a private home. This includes garages belonging to facilities like nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or group homes. It helps specify the precise location of an incident within such an institutional setting.

Use this code when documenting an external cause of injury or poisoning that took place in a garage of a residential institution, such as a fall in a nursing home's vehicle garage or an exposure to fumes in an assisted living facility's maintenance garage. It should be assigned as a secondary code to provide context for the primary injury or condition.

• Always assign this as a secondary external cause code, never as a primary diagnosis.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states the incident occurred in a "garage" and specifies a "residential institution" (e.g., nursing home, group home).
• Distinguish from garages of private homes (Y92.011) or other non-residential institutions.
