Walked into furniture, initial encounter

This code describes an injury sustained when an individual inadvertently collides with a piece of furniture. It specifically indicates the initial phase of treatment for such an incident, where the patient is first presenting for care.

Apply this code when documenting injuries like contusions, sprains, or fractures resulting from an impact with a stationary object like a table, chair, or bed. This is appropriate for patients presenting to an emergency department, urgent care, or primary care physician immediately following such an event.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific injury sustained (e.g., S90.32XA for contusion of ankle).
• Ensure the "A" for initial encounter is appropriate; subsequent encounters would use "D" or "S."
• This code is for unintentional contact; intentional self-harm or assault would require different external cause codes.
