Bank as the place of occurrence of the external cause

This code indicates that an injury or other external cause event occurred specifically at a bank. It pinpoints the physical location as a financial institution where monetary transactions typically take place. This specificity helps in understanding the environmental factors contributing to the incident.

Use this code when documenting an injury or adverse event that took place within the premises of a bank, such as a slip and fall in the lobby, an assault during a robbery, or an injury sustained while using an ATM located inside the bank. It should be assigned as a secondary code to provide context for the primary injury or condition.

• Always assign this code in conjunction with an external cause code (V00-Y99) and a primary injury code.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states the incident occurred at a bank, not just a general commercial building.
• Do not use for incidents occurring in parking lots adjacent to a bank unless the parking lot is explicitly part of the bank's immediate premises and the incident is directly related to bank activities.
