Pnctr w fb of l little finger w damage to nail, subs

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a puncture wound to their left little finger, where a foreign object remains embedded, and the nail has also been damaged. This indicates ongoing care for the injury after the initial treatment.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters related to the management of a left little finger puncture wound with a retained foreign body and associated nail damage. This includes visits for wound checks, dressing changes, foreign body removal (if not performed initially), or monitoring for complications during the healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" for accurate code selection.
• Verify the laterality (left) and specific digit (little finger) are clearly documented.
• Confirm the presence of both a foreign body and nail damage as part of the puncture wound.
