External constriction of part of breast, right breast, subs

This code describes an external compression or binding of the right breast, occurring during the healing phase of an injury or condition. This constriction is caused by an external force or object, rather than an internal anatomical issue.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for complications arising from external compression of the right breast, such as from a tight bra, clothing, or medical device. This applies when the initial injury or condition has already been addressed and the current visit focuses on managing the ongoing effects of the constriction.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right breast" and "subsequent encounter."
• Do not use for initial injury encounters; a different code from the S20.141 series would be appropriate for the initial visit.
• Consider an external cause code (V00-Y99) to further specify the external force or object causing the constriction, if known and documented.
