Injury of radial nerve at forearm level, unsp arm, subs

This code signifies a documented injury to the radial nerve specifically within the forearm region, without specifying which arm is affected. This injury has been previously treated and the patient is now presenting for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of complications.

Apply this code for encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a radial nerve injury in the forearm, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, or medication management after the initial treatment phase. It is appropriate when the initial injury has already been addressed and the focus is on recovery or long-term management.

• Ensure the documentation clearly indicates a "subsequent encounter" for the injury.
• Confirm the injury is specifically to the radial nerve and located in the forearm.
• If the affected arm (left or right) is specified, a more precise code should be used.
