Burn of unspecified degree of female genital region, sequela

This code indicates a healed burn injury of the female external genitalia, where the original burn's depth was not documented or is unknown. It signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a past burn to this specific anatomical area.

Utilize this code when documenting a patient presenting with a sequela (e.g., scarring, contracture, chronic pain, or functional impairment) resulting from a previous burn to the female genital region. This applies when the initial burn degree was not specified in the original medical record or is no longer determinable.

• Assign this code for conditions that are residual effects of a healed burn, not for an active burn injury.
• The "S" in the seventh character indicates sequela, meaning it's used for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of the original burn.
• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., scar, contracture).
