Oth incomplete lesion at T2-T6, subs

This code signifies an incomplete spinal cord injury affecting the thoracic region from the second to sixth vertebrae (T2-T6), where some motor or sensory function below the injury level is preserved. The "incomplete" nature indicates that the spinal cord is not fully severed, allowing for potential recovery.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters with a patient who has previously sustained an incomplete thoracic spinal cord injury at the T2-T6 level. This includes visits for ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or monitoring of the injury's progression or stability after the initial acute phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies an incomplete lesion and the T2-T6 thoracic level.
• The "D" suffix indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning this code is used after the initial treatment of the injury.
• Confirm that the encounter is not for the initial acute care of the injury, which would require an "A" suffix.
