Coding of a sequela requires reporting of the condition or nature of the sequela sequenced first, followed by the sequela (7th character "S") code....Use of Sequela (7th character "S") Diagnosis CodesM48. 40XS (Fatigue fracture of vertebra, site unspecified, sequela of fracture)S00. ... T36.
How should I code treatment of a Colles fracture? Use 25600 for “closed treatment of distal radial fracture (e.g., Colles or Smith type) or epiphyseal separation, with or without fracture of ulnar styloid; without manipulation.”
Example 3: A sequela character (“S”) is applied for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of a condition or injury (in ICD-9, these were known as “late effects”). Examples may include joint contracture after a tendon injury, hemiplegia after a stroke or scar formation following a burn.
Some conditions may be diagnosed retrospectively from their sequelae. An example is pleurisy. Other examples of sequelae include those following neurological injury; including aphasia, ataxia, hemi- and quadriplegia, and any number of other changes that may be caused by neurological trauma.
In these encounters, the seventh digit of the ICD-10-CM code is D. Sequelae is used for the complications or conditions that arise as the direct result of a condition that is essentially considered to be otherwise resolved. For example, the guidelines cite the scar formation that occurs after a burn.
CPT® 25605 in section: Closed treatment of distal radial fracture (eg, Colles or Smith type) or epiphyseal separation, includes closed treatment of fracture of ulnar styloid, when performed.
CPT code 25607 as “ Open treatment of distal radial extra-articular fracture or epiphyseal separation, with internal fixation.”
The radius is one of two forearm bones and is located on the thumb side. The part of the radius connected to the wrist joint is called the distal radius. When the radius breaks near the wrist, it is called a distal radius fracture. The break usually happens due to falling on an outstretched or flexed hand.
Sequela (Late Effects) Coding of sequela generally requires two codes sequenced in the following order: The condition or nature of the sequela is sequenced first. The sequela code is sequenced second.
Late effects are considered to be the residual effects after the acute phase of an illness, disease, or injury. There is no time limit as to when a late effect can manifest itself. It can occur directly after the disease or even years after the illness or injury has passed.
