Subluxation of right scapula, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a partial dislocation of the right shoulder blade (scapula) where the joint surfaces are no longer perfectly aligned but remain in contact. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific injury, such as during a rehabilitation visit or for monitoring healing.

Use this code for encounters following the initial treatment of a subluxation of the right scapula. This includes visits for physical therapy, re-evaluation of the injury, or management of ongoing symptoms after the acute phase has passed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "right scapula" and "subluxation" for accurate assignment.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is in the healing or recovery phase.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the injury; a different seventh character would be required for the initial encounter.
