Insect bite (nonvenomous) of breast, left breast, sequela

This code indicates a long-term or late effect resulting from a nonvenomous insect bite that occurred on the left breast. This could include residual scarring, chronic dermatitis, or other persistent issues directly attributable to the original bite, even after the initial acute phase has resolved.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition that is a direct consequence of a past nonvenomous insect bite to the left breast. This applies when the acute injury has healed, but a sequela, such as a scar or chronic skin change, is being treated or evaluated.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a code that describes the specific sequela (e.g., a scar, chronic dermatitis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous nonvenomous insect bite on the left breast.
• Distinguish from acute insect bites, which would use codes from the T14.8-T14.9 range for current injuries.
