Blister (nonthermal) of right ring finger, subs encntr

This code signifies a non-burn related fluid-filled lesion on the fourth digit of the right hand, specifically documented during a follow-up visit for treatment or healing. It indicates that the blister is not due to heat, chemical, or electrical exposure, and the patient is past the initial phase of injury.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for ongoing care of a blister on their right ring finger that was not caused by a burn. This includes visits for dressing changes, wound checks, or monitoring healing progress after the initial treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the blister is non-thermal and located on the right ring finger.
• Verify that the encounter is indeed a subsequent visit for the same injury, not the initial presentation.
• Confirm laterality (right) and digit (ring finger) are explicitly documented to support this specific code.
