And that makes sense considering that most of those codes represent conditions—including bone, joint, or muscle conditions that are recurrent or resulting from a healed injury—for which therapy treatment does progress in the same way it does for acute injuries.
Even so, therapists should only use ICD-10 aftercare codes to express patient diagnoses in a very select set of circumstances.
