Other contact with goose, subsequent encounter

This code indicates an injury or adverse health effect resulting from an encounter with a goose, occurring during a follow-up visit for the initial injury. This could include complications, ongoing treatment, or assessment of recovery from a previous goose-related incident.

Use this code when a patient presents for subsequent care related to an injury initially caused by a goose. Examples include a follow-up appointment for a goose bite wound infection, physical therapy for a sprain sustained while fleeing a goose, or evaluation of a persistent allergic reaction after contact with goose feathers.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the encounter is not the initial treatment for the injury.
• Pair with an external cause code (e.g., X00-X59) to specify the nature of the goose encounter if applicable.
• Always sequence the primary injury code first, followed by this external cause code.
