ICD-10-CM says the seventh character S is “for use for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of an injury, such as scar formation after a burn. The scars are sequelae of the burn.” In other words, sequela are the late effects of an injury.#N#Perhaps the most common sequela is pain. Many patients receive treatment long after an injury has healed as a result of pain. Some patients might never have been treated for the injury at all. As time passes, the pain becomes intolerable and the patient seeks a pain remedy.#N#A late effect can occur only after the acute phase of the injury or illness has passed; therefore, you cannot report a code for the acute illness and a code for the late effect at the same encounter, for the same patient. The only exception occurs if both conditions exist (for example, the patient has a current cerebrovascular condition and deficits from an old cerebrovascular condition).#N#When reporting sequela (e), you usually will need to report two codes. The first describes the condition or nature of the sequela (e) and second the second describes the sequela (e) or “late effect.” For example, you may report M81.8 Other osteoporosis without current pathological fracture with E64.8 Sequelae of other nutritional deficiencies (calcium deficiency).#N#If a late effect code describes all of the relevant details, you should report that one code, only (e.g., I69.191 Dysphagia following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage ).#N#For example: A patient suffers a low back injury that heals on its own. The patient isn’t seeking intervention for the initial injury, but for the pain that persists long after. The chronic pain is sequela of the injury. Such a visit may be reported as G89.21 Chronic pain due to trauma and S39.002S Unspecified injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of lower back, sequela.
ICD-10-CM defines subsequent encounters as “encounters after the patient has received active treatment of the injury and is receiving routine care for the injury during the healing or recovery phase. Examples of subsequent care are: cast change or removal, removal of external or internal fixation device, medication adjustment, other aftercare and follow up visits following injury treatment.”#N#A seventh character “D” is appropriate during the recovery phase, no matter how many times he has seen the provider for this problem, previously.#N#Note that ICD-10-CM guidelines do not definitively establish when “active treatment” becomes “routine care.” Active treatment occurs when the provider sees the patient and develops a plan of care. When the patient is following the plan, that is subsequent. If the provider needs to adjust the plan of care—for example, if the patient has a setback or must returns to the OR—the care becomes active, again.
