Lac w/o fb of right eyelid and periocular area, sequela

This code signifies a healed injury or a late effect resulting from a laceration to the right eyelid and/or the surrounding periocular tissues, where no foreign body was present at the time of the original injury. It indicates that the initial acute laceration has resolved, but the patient is now experiencing a residual condition or complication directly attributable to that past trauma.

Use this code when documenting a current condition or symptom that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained laceration to the right eyelid or periocular area, and the original injury has fully healed. Documentation should clearly link the current sequela (e.g., scar tissue, ectropion, entropion, chronic pain) to the prior laceration and specify the absence of a foreign body.

• Always sequence the sequela code first, followed by a code describing the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, deformity).
• Ensure documentation explicitly states the "sequela" nature of the current condition and identifies the original injury as a laceration without a foreign body.
• Distinguish from acute lacerations (S01.111A, S01.111D) which are used for initial encounters or subsequent encounters for active treatment of the injury itself.
