Inj great saphenous at hip and thigh level, right leg, subs

This code signifies a documented injury to the right greater saphenous vein within the hip or thigh region, other than a laceration or puncture, that is being treated during a subsequent encounter. This could include a contusion, crush injury, or other specified trauma to this major superficial vein. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving active treatment for the injury after the initial care, such as follow-up, cast change, or medication adjustment.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being managed for a non-laceration/puncture injury to the right greater saphenous vein in the hip or thigh. This applies when the patient is still actively receiving care for the injury, not for sequelae or late effects. Examples include a patient returning for wound care after a crush injury to the vein or for monitoring after a contusion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right leg" and "hip and thigh level" for the greater saphenous vein.
• Confirm the injury type is "other specified" (e.g., contusion, crush) and not a laceration or puncture.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is still receiving active treatment for the injury. Do not use for initial treatment or sequelae.
