Insect bite (nonvenomous) of penis, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late-effect condition resulting from a nonvenomous insect bite to the penis. This could include chronic skin changes, scarring, persistent itching, or other lasting complications that manifest after the initial acute injury has resolved.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current sequela directly attributable to a past nonvenomous insect bite on the penis. This is appropriate for follow-up visits where the primary concern is the residual effect rather than the acute injury itself.

• 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 previous nonvenomous insect bite on the penis.
• Verify that the "S" seventh character is appropriate for a sequela, indicating a complication or condition arising as a direct result of a previous injury.
