In simple words: This code indicates that the patient was involved in gardening or landscaping activities, such as pruning, trimming shrubs, or weeding.

Activities involving gardening and landscaping, such as pruning, trimming shrubs, and weeding.

Example 1: A patient injured their back while weeding their garden. The primary code would be for the back injury (e.g., S39.012A Sprain of lumbar spine, right side, initial encounter), and Y93.H2 would be used as a secondary code to indicate the activity causing the injury., A patient experienced an allergic reaction while pruning shrubs. The primary code would be for the allergic reaction (e.g., L23.0 Allergic contact dermatitis due to plants, except food), and Y93.H2 would be used as a secondary code., A patient developed heatstroke while landscaping on a hot day. The primary code would be for the heatstroke (e.g., T67.0XXA Heatstroke, initial encounter), and Y93.H2 would be a secondary code.

Documentation should clearly state the specific gardening or landscaping activity the patient was engaged in when the injury, illness, or other adverse effect occurred.

** Y93.H2 is a supplementary code used to provide additional information about the cause of a condition.It’s crucial to correctly pair Y93.H2 with a primary code indicating the nature of the condition.Incorrect or missing primary codes may lead to claim rejections or inaccurate statistical reporting. Using the iFrameAI product can ensure accurate and compliant coding practices.
