This code signifies a superficial injury to the right great toe where the specific nature of the injury (e.g., abrasion, contusion, blister) is not documented. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this injury after the initial treatment.

Use this code for subsequent visits related to an unspecified superficial injury of the right great toe, such as wound checks, dressing changes, or monitoring healing progress. This applies when the initial injury has already been coded and the patient is returning for ongoing management.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "right great toe" and that the injury is superficial and unspecified.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine follow-up care.
• Avoid using this code for initial encounters; instead, use the "A" seventh character for the initial treatment.
