Insect bite (nonvenomous), right thigh, sequela

This code signifies a lasting effect or complication resulting from a nonvenomous insect bite on the patient's right thigh. This could include chronic skin changes, persistent scarring, or long-term discomfort directly attributable to the original bite, occurring after the acute phase has resolved.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition that is a direct consequence of a past nonvenomous insect bite to the right thigh. This is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing residual issues like hyperpigmentation, keloid formation, or chronic pruritus at the bite site.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a primary code for the specific sequela (e.g., L90.5 for scar conditions).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous nonvenomous insect bite on the right thigh.
• Do not use for acute insect bites; those require codes from the S70.31-S70.32 range.
