Unsp inj superfic vn at shldr/up arm, right arm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect stemming from an unspecified injury to a superficial vein in the right shoulder or upper arm. This could include chronic pain, scarring, or functional impairment directly attributable to a past, resolved injury of a superficial vein in this region.

Apply this code when documenting a current condition that is a direct consequence of a previous, unspecified injury to a superficial vein in the right shoulder or upper arm. This is used when the acute phase of the original injury has passed, and the patient is now presenting with residual effects.

• Always sequence this sequela code first, followed by codes for the specific manifestation(s) of the sequela.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past injury of a superficial vein in the specified anatomical area.
• Avoid using this code for acute injuries; it is strictly for late effects.
