Other contact with parrot, sequela

This code indicates a health condition or injury that is a residual effect of a past encounter with a parrot. This could include chronic infections, scarring, or psychological sequelae resulting from a bite, scratch, or other injurious contact. The initial acute injury has resolved, but its long-term consequences are now being treated.

Use this code when documenting the treatment of a chronic condition directly attributable to a previous parrot encounter, such as a non-healing wound from a parrot bite, persistent nerve damage, or a chronic infection. It is appropriate for follow-up visits where the focus is on managing these long-term effects, not the initial acute injury.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic wound, scar).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past parrot encounter.
• Do not use for acute injuries; refer to the appropriate acute injury code for initial treatment.
