Restaurant or cafe as place

This code indicates that an injury or adverse event occurred within the physical confines of a restaurant or cafe. It specifies the location where the external cause of the patient's condition took place, rather than the nature of the injury itself.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states that a patient's injury, such as a slip and fall, burn, or foodborne illness, originated in a restaurant, diner, coffee shop, or similar food service establishment. This code is used as a secondary code to provide context for the primary injury diagnosis.

• Always use this code in conjunction with an external cause of morbidity code (e.g., W00-Y34) and the primary injury or condition code.
• Distinguish between a restaurant/cafe (Y92.511) and other public eating places like a cafeteria in a school or workplace, which would use different Y92 codes.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly identifies a restaurant or cafe as the site of the incident.
