Abrasion, right lesser toe(s), subsequent encounter

📋Clinical Description

This code indicates a superficial injury to the skin of one or more lesser toes on the right foot, characterized by scraping or rubbing off of the epidermis. It signifies that the patient is receiving follow-up care for an abrasion that was previously treated.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when a patient presents for a subsequent visit related to an abrasion on their right lesser toe(s). This includes wound checks, dressing changes, or monitoring for healing after the initial treatment. Do not use for the initial presentation of the injury.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "right" lesser toe(s) and confirms the injury is an abrasion.
Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial injury.
Pair with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to describe how the injury occurred, if known and documented.
