Abrasion of right eyelid and periocular area, sequela

This code signifies a past abrasion affecting the right eyelid and the surrounding tissues of the eye, where the effects or complications of that injury are still present. It indicates a long-term consequence or late effect of a previous superficial injury to this specific anatomical area.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a current condition or symptom directly resulting from a previously healed abrasion of the right eyelid or periocular region. This includes scarring, chronic irritation, or functional impairment directly attributable to the old injury. The patient's medical record should specify the sequela and link it to the prior abrasion.

• Always sequence the sequela code first, followed by a code describing the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain).
• Ensure documentation explicitly states the condition is a "sequela" or "late effect" of a prior abrasion, not an acute injury.
• Distinguish from acute abrasions (S00.211A, S00.211D) which are used for initial encounters or subsequent encounters during active treatment.
