Dislocation of l acromioclav jt, 100%-200% displacmnt, subs

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a complete dislocation of the left acromioclavicular (AC) joint, specifically with 100% to 200% displacement. This type of injury involves a significant separation of the clavicle from the acromion, indicating severe ligamentous disruption.

Apply this code for encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care, follow-up, or management for a previously diagnosed and treated left AC joint dislocation with 100%-200% displacement. This includes visits for physical therapy, wound care, cast changes, or evaluation of healing progress after initial treatment.

• Ensure the encounter is not for the initial treatment of the injury; use a code with an "A" seventh character for the initial encounter.
• Verify laterality (left) and the specific displacement percentage (100%-200%) are documented.
• Confirm the documentation supports a "subsequent encounter" for ongoing care related to the injury.
