Oth incomplete lesion at T11-T12, subs

This code signifies an incomplete spinal cord injury affecting the T11-T12 vertebral level, where some motor or sensory function below the injury site is preserved. "Incomplete" indicates that the spinal cord is not fully severed, allowing for potential recovery of function.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters for patients who have previously been treated for an incomplete thoracic spinal cord injury at the T11-T12 level. This includes visits for ongoing rehabilitation, monitoring of neurological status, or management of complications related to the initial injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies an incomplete lesion and the T11-T12 level.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Pair with an external cause code (e.g., V00-Y99) to describe the cause of the injury, if known and applicable.
