This had me thinking what external cause code to use for this.
My thoughts were:
W22.8XXA – Striking against other object, initial encounter.
W25.XXXA – Contact with sharp glass, initial encounter.
W20.8XXA – Other strike by thrown, projected, or falling object, initial encounter.
I am not sure which to use, because the glass isn’t sharp until it was broken. Also the windshield isn’t being thrown, projected, or falling on this person. So the only other option I see is, W22.8XXA. Also the claim of course, did not specify if this patient was the driver, or passenger. Also didn’t specify if this was in traffic or not, and weather or not this involved other vehicles or just a stationary object. But still these are the only thing I could think of for the windshield part. Is there anything else that may fit?
