Unsp dislocation of right acromioclavicular joint, init

This code signifies a dislocation of the right acromioclavicular (AC) joint where the specific type or grade of the dislocation (e.g., Type I, II, III) has not yet been determined by the provider. It indicates an initial presentation for this injury.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a right AC joint dislocation but lacks further detail regarding its severity or classification. This is appropriate for the first encounter where the injury is diagnosed and treatment is initiated.

• Only use this code when the laterality is explicitly documented as "right" and the dislocation is "unspecified."
• Do not use if a specific grade or type of AC joint dislocation is documented; instead, choose a more specific code.
• The "A" at the end indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
