Contact with powered lawn mower, subsequent encounter

This code signifies an injury or adverse health effect resulting from contact with a powered lawn mower, occurring during a follow-up visit after the initial treatment. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for complications, recovery, or assessment related to the original incident.

Apply this code for patients presenting for follow-up appointments, wound care, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of injuries sustained from a powered lawn mower. This includes scenarios where the initial injury was treated, and the patient is now returning for subsequent management.

• Ensure the encounter is not the initial treatment for the injury.
• Always pair with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to specify the circumstances of the injury.
• Consider additional codes for the specific type of injury (e.g., laceration, fracture) and the body part affected.
