S00.271S
ICD-10-CMOther superficial bite of right eyelid and periocular area, sequela
This code signifies a healed or residual effect from a superficial bite injury to the right eyelid and/or the surrounding periocular tissues. It indicates that the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the patient is now presenting with a complication or late effect directly attributable to the original bite.
Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a long-term consequence, such as scarring, disfigurement, or chronic pain, resulting from a superficial bite to the right eyelid or periocular area. Documentation should clearly state the bite occurred in the past and the current condition is a direct sequela.
