Struck by golf club, subsequent encounter

This code indicates an injury sustained from being hit by a golf club, specifically when the patient is receiving follow-up care for that injury. This could include complications, healing assessments, or ongoing treatment related to the initial incident.

Apply this code for any encounter after the initial treatment of an injury caused by being struck by a golf club. Examples include follow-up appointments for wound care, fracture management, or physical therapy stemming from the original incident.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the specific injury (e.g., fracture, contusion).
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for subsequent encounters, indicating active treatment or healing phase.
• Do not use this code for the initial presentation of the injury; use the "A" seventh character for that.
