In simple words: This code is used for a doctor's visit after an electric shock injury. It's used after the first visit for the same injury has already been recorded.

This code classifies a subsequent encounter for electrocution.Electrocution is defined as injury or death caused by electric current. This code is for use after the initial encounter (T75.4XXA) has been coded.It excludes adverse effects not elsewhere classified (T78.-) and electric burns (T20-T31).

Example 1: A patient presents to the emergency department several days after an electrocution incident for follow-up care.The patient has sustained minor burns that are healing, and the physician evaluates for any neurological deficits.T75.4XXD is coded., A patient is admitted to the hospital for treatment of significant injuries sustained during an electrocution incident.After initial treatment, the patient is transferred to a rehabilitation facility.T75.4XXD is used for subsequent visits to the rehabilitation facility., A patient experiences long-term cardiac complications after an electrocution incident. The patient is seen by a cardiologist for ongoing management of arrhythmias. T75.4XXD would be used to document these follow-up visits.

Detailed documentation of the electrocution event, including the mechanism of injury, the type and severity of the injury (burns, neurological deficits, etc.), and the date of the initial encounter are necessary for proper coding.Follow-up notes should document the patient's progress, any complications, and treatment provided.Any related imaging or diagnostic test results should also be documented.

** This code is specifically for subsequent encounters.The initial encounter should be coded using T75.4XXA.Always ensure appropriate documentation to support the coding selection.
