Patient presents with bug bites on bilateral arms, legs, neck and back. Would you code this visit using the 'S' code for each site or do you think I'm safe using L53.8 'Other specified erythematous conditions'. If so, can we use the W57.XXXA code to specify with the use of an 'L' code? I know 'W' codes are used to specify causality for injury but wasn't sure if they could be used in other situations. I just was trying to prevent having to code with 8 diagnosis codes if possible.......
