Burn of first degree of left scapular region, init encntr

This code signifies a superficial burn affecting the left shoulder blade area. A first-degree burn involves only the outermost layer of skin (epidermis), typically presenting with redness, mild swelling, and pain, but no blistering.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a first-degree burn to the left scapular region during their initial visit for treatment. This includes burns caused by brief contact with hot objects, sunburn, or minor scalds that do not result in blistering or deeper tissue damage.

• Ensure the burn is explicitly documented as first-degree and located on the left scapular region.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific burn injury.
• Do not use this code if blistering, skin loss, or deeper tissue involvement is present.
