Other contact with other hoof stock, sequela

This code indicates a past injury or adverse health condition resulting from an encounter with a hoofed animal other than a horse, cattle, or pig. It signifies that the initial injury has healed, but its lasting effects, complications, or residual symptoms are now being treated or evaluated.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a current health issue that is a direct consequence of a prior incident involving an animal such as a goat, sheep, deer, or llama. This would be used for conditions like chronic pain from an old fracture caused by a kick, scar tissue from a bite, or persistent neurological deficits following a head injury from a charge.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past encounter with the "other hoof stock."
• Do not use for initial encounters or active injuries; those require acute injury codes with the appropriate 7th character.
