Strain of musc/fasc/tend long hd bicep, right arm, sequela

This code signifies a chronic or residual condition resulting from a previous strain injury to the long head of the biceps muscle, its associated fascia, or tendon in the patient's right arm. It indicates that the initial acute injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience lasting effects such as pain, weakness, or limited range of motion.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with persistent symptoms directly attributable to a past strain of the long head of the biceps in the right arm. This includes scenarios where the patient is undergoing rehabilitation for chronic pain or functional deficits after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links current symptoms to a previously sustained strain of the specified anatomical site.
• This "S" seventh character indicates a sequela, meaning the late effects of the injury. Do not use for acute or subacute phases.
• Verify laterality (right arm) is accurately documented and matches the code.
