Sprain of right coracohumeral (ligament), subs encntr

This code signifies a sprain of the coracohumeral ligament in the right shoulder, indicating damage to the connective tissue that helps stabilize the shoulder joint. A sprain involves stretching or tearing of this ligament, often resulting from trauma or overuse.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment or evaluation for a previously diagnosed right coracohumeral ligament sprain. This includes visits for physical therapy, medication management, or re-assessment of healing progress after the initial injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the right shoulder and the coracohumeral ligament.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is in the healing or recovery phase.
• Confirm the diagnosis is a sprain, not a strain (muscle/tendon) or dislocation.
