Insect bite (nonvenomous), right foot, initial encounter

This code signifies a nonvenomous insect bite affecting the right foot. It indicates the initial presentation of the injury, meaning the patient is receiving active treatment for the bite.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a patient has sustained a bite from a nonvenomous insect on their right foot, and this is the first time they are being seen or treated for this specific injury. Examples include mosquito bites, ant bites, or flea bites on the right foot.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nonvenomous" to differentiate from venomous bites.
• Verify the laterality (right foot) is clearly documented.
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for treatment of this specific bite; subsequent care would use a different encounter character.
