Inj femoral vein at hip and thigh level, right leg, init

This code signifies a specific injury to the femoral vein in the right leg, occurring at the hip or thigh level, that is not otherwise classified as a laceration, puncture, or other specified type. It indicates damage to the vein that is more than a contusion but less specific than a complete tear, such as a crush injury or avulsion.

Apply this code for initial encounters involving a patient presenting with a documented injury to the right femoral vein in the hip or thigh region that is described as "other specified" by the provider. This would include cases where the injury is clearly identified as affecting the femoral vein but doesn't fit into more specific categories like a cut or puncture.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the right leg and the hip/thigh level.
• Verify the injury is to the femoral vein and not an artery or other vessel.
• Confirm the encounter is the initial treatment for this specific injury.
