Laceration of musc/fasc/tend long hd bicep, right arm, subs

This code signifies a tear or cut in the muscle, fascia, or tendon of the long head of the biceps in the right arm. This injury involves the connective tissues surrounding and attaching the biceps muscle to bone.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters for a patient who has previously been treated for a laceration of the long head of the biceps in the right arm. This includes visits for routine follow-up, cast changes, wound care, or during the healing phase of the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies the "long head" of the biceps and the "right arm."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is in the healing or recovery phase.
• Distinguish between laceration (a cut) and a rupture or tear (which would use different codes).
