The fall is the primary diagnosis, and Y92.1 is used to specify the location of the incident., A patient in a rehabilitation center develops a pressure ulcer. The pressure ulcer is the primary diagnosis, and Y92.1 is used to indicate that the injury occurred while the patient was a resident of the facility., A patient contracts influenza at their assisted living facility. The primary diagnosis is influenza and the code Y92.1 is used to show the location of the cause as assisted living.
