Insect bite (nonvenomous), unspecified hip, sequela

This code indicates a long-term or late effect resulting from a nonvenomous insect bite on an unspecified hip. It signifies that the initial injury has healed, but there are persistent symptoms, complications, or residual conditions directly attributable to the original bite.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, scar, or other lasting sequela that is a direct consequence of a past nonvenomous insect bite on the hip. This is appropriate when the acute phase of the bite has resolved, and the current encounter addresses the residual issue.

• Always sequence this "S" code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., scar, chronic dermatitis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous nonvenomous insect bite on the hip.
• Avoid using this code for acute insect bites; those require codes from the initial encounter or subsequent encounter categories.
