Unsp injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of lower back, subs

This code signifies a non-specific injury to the muscles, fascia, or tendons of the lower back that is being treated during a follow-up visit. The exact nature or extent of the soft tissue damage in the lumbar region is not specified.

Apply this code for patients presenting for subsequent care (e.g., follow-up appointments, physical therapy sessions, medication refills) related to an initial, unspecified lower back muscle, fascia, or tendon injury. This is appropriate when the specific type of injury (e.g., strain, tear) was not documented or has not yet been definitively diagnosed.

• Requires a 7th character of "D" for subsequent encounter.
• Only use when the specific muscle, fascia, or tendon injury is not further detailed in the medical record.
• Always strive for a more specific code if additional clinical information becomes available.
