Laceration of musc/fasc/tend prt biceps, right arm, init

This code signifies a tear or cut involving the muscle, its surrounding fascia, and the tendon of the biceps in the right arm, excluding the long and short heads. This injury typically results from trauma and can lead to significant pain and functional impairment of the elbow and shoulder.

Apply this code when documenting an acute laceration affecting the undifferentiated muscle, fascia, and tendon components of the right biceps. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of such an injury, before subsequent care or healing phases. It would be used, for example, for a patient presenting to the emergency department after sustaining a deep cut to the right upper arm that is confirmed to involve these structures.

• Ensure documentation specifies the right arm and involvement of muscle, fascia, and tendon, not just skin or subcutaneous tissue.
• Confirm the injury is to "other parts" of the biceps, meaning not specifically the long or short head.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
