Oclr lac/rupt w prolaps/loss of intraoc tiss, unsp eye, subs

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for an injury to the eye involving a full-thickness tear (laceration) or bursting (rupture) of the eyeball, where internal eye structures have protruded or been lost. This specific code is used when the affected eye is not specified.

Apply this code for subsequent visits related to the healing, complications, or ongoing management of a previously diagnosed ocular laceration or rupture with prolapse/loss of intraocular tissue. Documentation should clearly indicate a "subsequent encounter" for this specific injury, such as follow-up appointments for wound care, monitoring for infection, or preparation for reconstructive surgery.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "subsequent encounter" or similar language for ongoing care of the initial injury.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the injury; that would require an "initial encounter" code.
• Verify if the documentation specifies the affected eye (right, left, or bilateral) to select a more specific code if available.
