Open bite of right breast, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect resulting from an open bite injury to the right breast. It indicates that the initial wound has healed, but residual issues, such as scarring, chronic pain, or functional impairment, are still present and require ongoing management.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained an open bite to the right breast and is now experiencing a sequela directly attributable to that injury. This applies to situations where the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the current encounter addresses a persistent consequence.

• Always assign an additional code to describe the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, disfigurement).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous open bite injury of the right breast.
• This code is for the sequela itself, not the initial acute injury.
