sequela/subsequent encounter

We admitted a pt that is falling and increasing weakness d/t foot drop and
neuropathy that occurred from his chemo (completed for quite some time).

I have the code T45.1X5 but am not sure if this should be a subsequent
encounter (which I’m leaning towards) or is it a sequela?

  • Because the chemo is complete and no longer current the 7th character would be S.
