Lacerat intrns musc/fasc/tend r rng fngr at wrs/hnd lv, subs

This code signifies a tear or cut to the deep muscles, connective tissue, or tendons located within the right ring finger, specifically at the level of the wrist or hand. This injury affects the structures responsible for fine motor control and movement of the finger.

Apply this code for follow-up care of a patient who previously sustained a laceration to the intrinsic muscles, fascia, or tendons of their right ring finger. This includes encounters for wound checks, dressing changes, physical therapy, or medication management after the initial treatment of the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies the right ring finger and the wrist/hand level of the injury.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment.
• Look for details regarding the specific intrinsic muscle, fascia, or tendon involved if available, though not required for this code.
