Partial traumatic amputation of right breast, subs encntr

This code signifies a partial loss of the right breast due to a traumatic injury, where the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial treatment. This indicates that some breast tissue remains, but a portion was severed or avulsed as a result of an external force.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing treatment, wound care, or evaluation for complications related to a partial traumatic amputation of the right breast. This includes visits for dressing changes, infection management, or assessment of healing after the initial injury and definitive care.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and the "right" breast.
• Confirm the encounter type is "subsequent" (D) and not initial (A) or sequela (S).
• Look for associated external cause codes (V, W, X, Y codes) to fully describe the injury event.
