Burn 2nd deg mul sites of r shldr/up lmb, ex wrs/hnd, sqla

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a second-degree burn affecting multiple areas of the patient's right shoulder and upper arm, forearm, or elbow, but specifically excluding the wrist and hand. This indicates that the initial burn injury has resolved, but there are lasting effects such as scarring, contractures, or chronic pain.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a long-term complication or after-effect directly attributable to a second-degree burn that previously occurred on the specified areas of the right upper limb. This is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing sequelae, rather than the initial acute burn treatment.

• Always assign a sequela code (ending in "S") for conditions that are residual effects of a healed burn.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right" shoulder and upper limb, and explicitly excludes the wrist and hand.
• Consider additional codes for specific sequelae, such as scar contracture (e.g., L90.5) or chronic pain, if clinically documented.
