Struck by basketball, subsequent encounter

This code signifies an injury sustained from being struck by a basketball, specifically for encounters following the initial treatment. It indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for the sequelae of the original incident.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of a fracture, that resulted from being hit by a basketball. It is appropriate for any visit after the initial encounter where the injury is still being addressed.

• Always pair with an injury code (e.g., fracture, contusion) to specify the nature of the injury.
• Ensure the 7th character "D" (subsequent encounter) is appropriate for the visit's purpose.
• Do not use for the initial visit or for sequelae (late effects) of the injury.
