Insect bite (nonvenomous) of right ring finger, sequela

This code describes a lasting or chronic condition resulting from a nonvenomous insect bite on the right ring finger. This could include persistent scarring, chronic pain, nerve damage, or other long-term complications directly attributable to the original bite. It indicates that the acute phase of the bite has passed, and the patient is now experiencing a residual effect.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current, ongoing problem that is a direct consequence of a past nonvenomous insect bite to their right ring finger. This applies to follow-up visits where the focus is on managing or treating these long-term effects, rather than the initial injury.

• Always assign a secondary code to describe the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic dermatitis, nerve damage).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous nonvenomous insect bite on the right ring finger.
• Do not use for acute insect bites; those require codes from the initial encounter or subsequent encounter categories.
