Other contact with other birds, subsequent encounter

This code indicates an injury or adverse effect resulting from an encounter with an unspecified type of bird, where the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment. It signifies that the initial injury has already been addressed, and the current visit pertains to ongoing management, healing, or complications.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for follow-up care related to an injury caused by an unspecified bird. This includes visits for wound checks, dressing changes, physical therapy, or medication adjustments after the initial incident.

• Always pair this code with an external cause code (e.g., Y92.-) to specify the place of occurrence.
• Ensure the encounter type is clearly documented as subsequent care in the medical record.
• If the specific type of bird is known, a more specific W61.- code should be used instead.
