Other sprain of right shoulder joint, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a non-specific ligamentous injury to the right shoulder joint, excluding rotator cuff tears, dislocations, or labral tears, that is being treated after the initial encounter. It indicates a less severe form of shoulder injury involving stretching or tearing of the ligaments supporting the joint.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a right shoulder sprain that was not specifically identified as a rotator cuff, dislocation, or labral injury. This includes scenarios such as physical therapy, re-evaluation, or medication management for a previously diagnosed sprain.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right shoulder" and "sprain" without further specificity (e.g., rotator cuff, dislocation).
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Do not use for initial injury assessment or for sequelae of the injury.
