Pecked by chicken, subsequent encounter

This code indicates that a patient has sustained an injury resulting from being pecked by a chicken, and this encounter represents a follow-up visit for that specific injury. It signifies that the initial treatment or assessment for the chicken peck has already occurred.

Use this code for subsequent visits related to a chicken peck injury, such as wound checks, dressing changes, or follow-up for infection. It is appropriate when the patient is returning for ongoing care after the initial presentation of the injury.

• Ensure a seventh character of "D" is used for subsequent encounters.
• Always pair this code with an external cause code (e.g., Y92.71) to specify the place of occurrence.
• Do not use for the initial encounter; refer to the "A" seventh character for the initial visit.
