Insect bite (nonvenomous), right hip, initial encounter

This code signifies a superficial injury to the right hip resulting from a bite from a non-venomous insect. It indicates the initial treatment or evaluation of this specific injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for the first time with a documented insect bite on their right hip, and the insect is identified or presumed to be non-venomous. This would include scenarios like mosquito bites, ant bites, or flea bites on that specific anatomical location.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right hip" and "initial encounter."
• Confirm the insect is non-venomous; differentiate from venomous bites (e.g., spider, scorpion).
• Do not use for subsequent encounters or sequelae of the bite.
