Insect bite (nonvenomous) of right ring finger, init encntr

This code signifies a non-venomous insect bite affecting the ring finger of the patient's right hand. It indicates the initial presentation and treatment for this specific injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's first visit for a bite from an insect (e.g., mosquito, ant, fly) on their right ring finger, where no venomous properties are involved. This is appropriate for acute care settings or the initial evaluation in an outpatient clinic.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nonvenomous" and the exact digit (ring finger) on the right hand.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury; subsequent encounters would require a different seventh character.
• Do not use for bites from venomous insects (e.g., spiders, scorpions) or for allergic reactions without a documented bite.
