Burn 2nd deg mul sites of r shldr/up lmb, ex wrs/hnd, subs

This code signifies a second-degree burn affecting multiple areas of the patient's right shoulder and upper limb, excluding the wrist and hand. A second-degree burn involves damage to both the epidermis and dermis, typically presenting with blistering, pain, and redness.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a second-degree burn to multiple sites of their right shoulder and upper limb. This includes scenarios such as wound care, dressing changes, or monitoring for infection during the healing phase.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "multiple sites" within the right shoulder and upper limb (excluding wrist/hand) and explicitly states "second degree."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing phase.
• Verify laterality (right) is clearly documented to support code assignment.
