Subluxation of proximal interphaln joint of r rng fngr, subs

This code indicates a partial dislocation of the middle joint of the right ring finger. The joint surfaces are no longer perfectly aligned, but they remain in partial contact. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving routine follow-up care during the healing or recovery phase of the injury.

This code is appropriate for office visits, physical therapy sessions, or other encounters where a patient is being monitored or treated for a previously diagnosed subluxation of the right ring finger PIP joint. It applies after the initial treatment of the acute injury.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial injury or active treatment of complications.
• Verify laterality (right finger) and specific joint (proximal interphalangeal) are documented.
• Confirm the injury is a subluxation, not a complete dislocation (which would be coded differently).
