Insect bite (nonvenomous) of right shoulder, init encntr

This code signifies a non-venomous insect bite affecting the right shoulder. It indicates the initial presentation and treatment of the injury, without complications such as infection or allergic reaction.

Apply this code when a patient presents for the first time with a bite from a non-venomous insect (e.g., mosquito, fly, ant) located specifically on their right shoulder. This is appropriate for initial evaluations and treatments, including symptom management or wound care.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a non-venomous insect bite and the right shoulder as the affected site.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury; subsequent encounters would require a different seventh character.
• Do not use for bites from venomous insects (e.g., spiders, scorpions) or for allergic reactions to insect bites, which have separate codes.
