Movie house or cinema as place

This code indicates that an injury or other external cause event occurred within the confines of a movie theater or cinema. It specifies the physical location where the incident took place, providing crucial context for the external cause of morbidity.

Use this code as a secondary code to specify the location when a patient sustains an injury (e.g., fall, assault, burn) or experiences an adverse event while at a movie house. This applies to incidents occurring in the auditorium, lobby, restrooms, or concession areas of a cinema.

• Always use this code as a secondary code following an external cause code (e.g., W00-Y34).
• Ensure the medical record explicitly documents the movie theater as the location of the incident.
• Do not use for incidents occurring in parking lots adjacent to a cinema; use the appropriate parking lot code instead.
