Many musculoskeletal conditions are a result of previous injury or trauma to a site or are recurrent conditions. Bone, joint or muscle conditions that are the result of a healed injury are usually found in chapter 13 of the Tabular List. Email <a href=\"mailto:info@target- coding.com\">info@target- coding.com<\/a> for a copy of the Tabular List.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In ICD-10, the trauma episodes of care are designated by 3 types of encounters. Initial encounter, subsequent encounter and sequelae. Use the letter A for initial encounter. This occurs when the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition, and you are the first provider the patient visits for the present condition. Use the letter D for subsequent encounters. This is for follow up visits after the patient has seen another provider. Use the letter S for sequela. Sequela is a late effect problem as a result of the original problem. This is used for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of a condition.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;d like to know the ICD-10 codes that pay for
