Other ice-skates accident, subsequent encounter

This code indicates an injury sustained from an accident involving ice skates, specifically during a follow-up visit for the initial injury. It signifies that the patient is receiving ongoing care for a condition that originated from an ice-skating incident.

Apply this code when a patient presents for subsequent treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or follow-up imaging, related to an injury initially caused by an ice-skating accident. This includes visits for complications or healing progress after the initial encounter.

• Always use in conjunction with a primary diagnosis code describing the specific injury (e.g., fracture, sprain).
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter, not an initial or sequela visit.
• Verify documentation clearly indicates the injury was due to ice skates and that the visit is for ongoing care.
