Insect bite (nonvenomous) of left little finger, sequela

This code signifies a lasting effect or complication resulting from a nonvenomous insect bite specifically on the left little finger. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but a residual condition, such as scarring, chronic pain, or altered sensation, persists.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition that is a direct consequence of a past nonvenomous insect bite to their left little finger. This applies when the acute phase of the bite has passed, and the current complaint is a sequela of that original injury.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific sequela itself (e.g., L90.5 for scar conditions).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous insect bite on the left little finger.
• Verify that the bite was nonvenomous; venomous bites are classified differently.
