In simple words: This code is used for a doctor's visit after an eye socket bone fracture. The healing is going well as expected, and the doctor is checking on the progress.

This code signifies a subsequent encounter for a patient with a fracture of the medial orbital wall, where the healing process is progressing as expected.The side of the fracture is unspecified.This is a code for a follow-up visit after the initial treatment of the fracture and is used when the healing is considered routine.

Example 1: A patient presents for a follow-up appointment three weeks after sustaining a medial orbital wall fracture. The fracture shows satisfactory healing with no signs of infection or complications.This code would be used for this visit., A patient is seen in the emergency department for a medial orbital wall fracture. Imaging confirms the fracture. The patient is subsequently seen by an ophthalmologist and undergoes surgical repair.S02.839A or S02.839B would be used for the initial visit. Subsequent visits would use S02.839D for routine healing or other appropriate codes for delayed healing or complications., A patient with a known medial orbital wall fracture presents with complaints of persistent pain and limited eye movement.Physical examination and imaging reveal delayed healing.In this case, a code other than S02.839D (e.g. S02.839G) would be used.

The documentation must clearly indicate that this is a subsequent encounter for a previously diagnosed and treated medial orbital wall fracture.The documentation should include details of the healing status, any complications, and the overall clinical assessment.Imaging reports (X-rays, CT scans) should be available if obtained.

** The unspecified laterality (side) in this code does not affect the coding, but additional documentation should specify the laterality if it is known.
