Insect bite (nonvenomous), left hip, sequela

This code indicates a long-term or late effect resulting from a nonvenomous insect bite on the patient's left hip. This could include persistent scarring, chronic dermatitis, nerve damage, or other lasting complications directly attributable to the original bite, even after the acute phase has resolved.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition that is a direct consequence of a past nonvenomous insect bite to the left hip. This applies when the initial injury has healed, but a residual problem remains. An example would be a patient seeking treatment for a keloid scar that formed at the site of an old mosquito bite on their left hip.

• Always sequence this sequela code first, followed by a code for the specific residual condition (e.g., keloid scar, chronic pruritus).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past insect bite on the left hip.
• Verify the insect bite was nonvenomous; venomous bites have different sequela codes.
