Reform school as the place of occurrence of the external cause. This code is used to provide supplementary information about the cause of morbidity and should not be used for single-condition coding.It should be used in conjunction with a code from another chapter, typically Chapter 19 (Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes) or Chapters 1-18, to indicate the nature of the condition.
Example 1: A patient is treated for a fractured arm (S52.501A) after falling during a basketball game at a reform school. The code Y92.15 would be used as a supplementary code to indicate the place of occurrence., A patient presents with food poisoning (A05.9) after eating contaminated food at a reform school. Y92.15 is used to specify the location of the event., A patient receives treatment for an allergic reaction (T78.40XA) after being stung by a bee at a reform school. The code Y92.15 provides additional information about the location of the incident.
Documentation should support the nature of the condition and the fact that it occurred at a reform school. This may include incident reports, medical records from the reform school, or other relevant documentation.
