Unsp open wound of r mid finger w/o damage to nail, init

This code signifies an open wound on the right middle finger where the specific nature of the wound (e.g., laceration, puncture) is not documented, and there is no associated injury to the fingernail. It indicates the patient is receiving initial treatment for this injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with an open wound to the right middle finger, and the medical record does not specify the type of open wound. This is appropriate for the first encounter for treatment of this particular injury, such as in an emergency department or initial clinic visit.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "right middle finger" and "open wound" without further specification.
• Confirm there is no mention of nail damage; if present, a different code would be required.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the wound.
