Insect bite (nonvenomous) of abdominal wall, sequela

This code signifies a lasting effect or complication resulting from a nonvenomous insect bite on the abdominal wall. These sequelae can include chronic scarring, persistent discoloration, nerve damage, or other long-term issues that manifest after the initial acute injury has healed. It indicates that the current patient complaint is a direct consequence of a past insect bite.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition or permanent change to the abdominal wall that is directly attributable to a nonvenomous insect bite that occurred in the past. This is appropriate for follow-up visits where the acute injury is no longer present, but its residual effects are being addressed.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., L90.5 for scar conditions).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past insect bite on the abdominal wall.
• Do not use this code for acute insect bites; those require codes from the T14.8-T14.9 series.
