7th characters
7th characters for T21 defined here
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T21
| 7th | Meaning (NCHS) |
|---|---|
| A | initial encounter |
| D | subsequent encounter |
| S | sequela |
A code that takes a 7th character is invalid without it; the placeholder X fills a code shorter than 6 characters (Official Guidelines I.A.5). How 7th characters work.
