S20.401D
ICD-10-CMUnspecified superficial injuries of right back wall of thorax, subsequent encounter
This code signifies a follow-up visit for an unspecific superficial injury to the right posterior chest wall. This could include abrasions, contusions, or minor lacerations that do not involve deeper tissues like muscle or bone, and the exact nature of the injury is not documented.
Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is being seen for ongoing care, re-evaluation, or follow-up of a previously diagnosed, unspecified superficial injury to the right back of the thorax. This is appropriate when the initial injury was not precisely categorized beyond "superficial."
