About the T79 Code Range
Trauma can have early complications, including repeat bleeding and conditions involving muscles or tissue beneath the skin.
T79 separates these complications by type. Some subdivisions distinguish air (T79.0) from fat (T79.1). Others identify bleeding (T79.2) or muscle conditions (T79.6 and T79.A). Separate subdivisions identify other (T79.8) and unspecified (T79.9) early complications.
The seventh character distinguishes an initial encounter (A), a subsequent encounter (D), or a sequela (S), meaning a later effect.
