Unspecified dislocation of right toe(s), subs encntr

This code signifies a dislocation of one or more toes on the right foot where the specific toe or joint involved is not documented. It is used for encounters following the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or re-evaluation, for a right toe dislocation that was previously diagnosed and treated. This code is appropriate when the medical record does not specify which particular toe (e.g., great toe, lesser toe) or joint (e.g., MTP, IP) was dislocated.

• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial injury.
• Only use this code if the laterality is explicitly documented as "right" and the specific toe(s) or joint(s) are unspecified.
• If the specific toe or joint is known, a more precise code from the S93.1- series should be used.
