Oth superfic bite of right eyelid and perioculr area, sqla

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.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., scar, disfigurement).
• Ensure documentation explicitly links the current condition to a past superficial bite injury of the specified anatomical site.
• Distinguish from acute bite injuries (T14.81XA) or open wounds, which would use different codes.
