Shop (commercial) as place

This code indicates that an injury or adverse event occurred within the confines of a commercial retail establishment. This includes various types of stores where goods are sold to the public, such as grocery stores, department stores, and specialty shops. It specifies the physical location where the external cause of an injury or health problem took place.

Apply this code when documenting the place of occurrence for injuries sustained in a retail environment, such as a slip and fall in a supermarket aisle, a cut from a product in a hardware store, or an allergic reaction to a sample in a cosmetics shop. It is used as a secondary code to provide additional detail about the circumstances surrounding the primary diagnosis.

• Always use this code in conjunction with an external cause code (V00-Y99) and a primary diagnosis code.
• Distinguish between commercial shops and other types of commercial establishments, such as offices or industrial sites.
• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the event occurred within a retail store setting.
