Other deformity of finger(s), unspecified finger(s)

This code signifies a non-specific structural abnormality or malformation affecting one or more fingers, where the specific digit(s) involved are not documented. It covers various deformities such as contractures, deviations, or other structural changes that do not fit more specific diagnostic codes.

Use this code when documentation indicates a finger deformity but lacks specificity regarding the exact finger (e.g., "deformity of finger," "multiple finger deformities"). This code is appropriate when the physician's notes describe a general finger deformity without identifying it as a mallet finger, boutonnière deformity, or other more defined conditions.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific anatomical site (e.g., "deformity of right index finger") or a more precise diagnosis (e.g., "mallet finger") is documented.
• Query the provider for greater specificity regarding the affected finger(s) and the type of deformity whenever possible to allow for a more precise code selection.
• This code is a "catch-all" for unspecified finger deformities; prioritize codes that offer greater detail if available.
