S55.991D
ICD-10-CMOther specified injury of unspecified blood vessel at forearm level, right arm, subsequent encounter
This code signifies a follow-up encounter for an injury to a blood vessel in the right forearm, where the specific type of blood vessel (e.g., artery, vein) is not documented, and the exact nature of the injury is also not precisely defined beyond being "other specified." This typically indicates ongoing care or assessment after the initial treatment of such an injury.
Use this code for subsequent visits related to a right forearm blood vessel injury when the initial injury was not clearly specified as arterial or venous, and the specific type of injury was also not detailed. This applies to encounters for wound checks, medication adjustments, physical therapy, or monitoring healing progress after the acute phase.
