Strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of pelvis, subs encntr

This code signifies a muscle, fascia, or tendon injury within the pelvic region that occurred previously and is now being treated during a follow-up visit. It indicates a non-bony injury to the soft tissues supporting the pelvis, such as those involved in hip movement or core stability.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or follow-up appointments related to a previously diagnosed strain of the pelvic muscles, fascia, or tendons. This includes physical therapy sessions, re-evaluations, or medication adjustments for an injury that is not in its initial acute phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "subsequent encounter" or indicates ongoing care for a previously diagnosed strain.
• Confirm the injury is to a muscle, fascia, or tendon within the pelvic region, not a fracture or dislocation.
• Do not use for initial injury assessment or for sequelae (late effects) of the injury.
