Bitten by mouse, subsequent encounter

This code indicates a patient presenting for follow-up care or treatment of an injury sustained from a mouse bite. This could include wound checks, infection management, or further treatment after the initial encounter. The bite itself is the primary injury.

Apply this code when a patient returns for subsequent medical attention related to a mouse bite, such as dressing changes, antibiotic refills, or evaluation of healing. It is appropriate for any visit after the initial assessment and treatment of the bite.

• Always pair with an external cause code (e.g., Y92.830 for "Other specified place, house") to indicate the location of the incident.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter; "A" is for initial, "S" for sequela.
• Document the specific nature of the follow-up care provided during the encounter.
