Other contact with pig, subsequent encounter

This code indicates that a patient is presenting for follow-up care related to an injury or adverse effect caused by contact with a pig, other than a bite. This could include injuries from being kicked, trampled, or otherwise physically impacted by a pig.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when the patient is receiving ongoing treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or medication management, for an injury initially sustained from contact with a pig. This code is appropriate after the initial treatment of the acute injury has been rendered.

• Always pair this code with an external cause code (e.g., X10.-) to specify the nature of the contact.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter, indicating active treatment or follow-up.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for sequelae (late effects) of the injury.
