This code signifies a superficial burn, characterized by redness and pain without blistering or skin breakage, affecting multiple areas of the patient's right shoulder and upper arm. It specifically excludes the wrist and hand, indicating involvement of the proximal upper limb.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a first-degree burn to the right shoulder and/or upper arm, such as from a mild sunburn or brief contact with a hot object. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment encounter for such an injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "first degree" and "multiple sites" within the right shoulder and upper limb, excluding the wrist and hand.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for this specific injury; subsequent encounters would require a different seventh character.
• Do not use if blistering or deeper tissue damage is present; those would indicate a higher-degree burn.
