Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 26 MAS 644 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Seventh Characters for Injuries
Captions available
The idea
Many injury codes use a seventh character to show the stage of care.
In practice
For example, an injury's follow-up care is coded with the injury code and a seventh character for a subsequent encounter, not with a general aftercare code.
Where people slip
Check the Tabular List for which seventh characters apply to each code.
