Unsp dislocation of right acromioclavicular joint, subs

This code signifies a dislocation of the right acromioclavicular (AC) joint where the specific type or grade of dislocation is not documented. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this injury, beyond the initial treatment phase.

Use this code for patients presenting for subsequent visits related to an unspecified right AC joint dislocation. This includes follow-up appointments for physical therapy, re-evaluation of healing, or management of ongoing symptoms after the initial injury has been addressed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "right" side and "unspecified" dislocation if a more specific code is not supported.
• The "D" seventh character indicates subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is in the healing or recovery phase.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the injury; a code with an "A" seventh character would be appropriate for the initial encounter.
