Complete traumatic amputation of right breast, subs encntr

This code signifies the total traumatic removal of the right breast due to an injury, not a surgical procedure. It indicates that the patient is being seen for follow-up care, healing, or complications related to this specific traumatic event, after the initial treatment has been rendered.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for ongoing management, wound care, or evaluation of complications following a complete traumatic amputation of their right breast. This includes visits for infection, pain management, or assessment for reconstructive surgery after the initial injury has been addressed.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "complete" and "traumatic" amputation of the right breast.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter; verify this is not the initial treatment or a sequela visit.
• Distinguish this from partial amputations or surgical mastectomies, which have different codes.
