Other anterior subluxation of right hip, subs encntr

This code signifies a partial dislocation of the right hip joint where the femoral head has moved forward relative to the acetabulum, but still maintains some contact. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific injury after the initial treatment phase.

Apply this code for encounters where a patient is being seen for ongoing management, rehabilitation, or complications related to a previously diagnosed anterior subluxation of the right hip. This includes visits for physical therapy, medication adjustments, or monitoring of healing progress.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right hip" and "anterior subluxation" to support this code.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is in the healing or recovery phase.
• Do not use for initial treatment of the injury; a different seventh character would be appropriate for the initial encounter.
