Unsp superficial injuries of breast, right breast, sequela

This code indicates a past, unspecified superficial injury to the right breast, where the acute injury has resolved, but residual effects or complications persist. These sequelae could include scarring, chronic pain, or functional limitations resulting from the original superficial trauma.

Use this code when documenting the long-term effects of a superficial injury to the right breast, such as a contusion, abrasion, or insect bite, after the initial healing period. It is appropriate when the patient presents for treatment of a condition directly attributable to the previous superficial trauma, rather than the acute injury itself.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past superficial injury of the right breast.
• Avoid using this code for acute injuries; instead, use the appropriate acute injury code with the 7th character for initial encounter.
