Partial traumatic amputation of one right lesser toe, subs

This code signifies a partial traumatic amputation of any of the right lesser toes (second through fifth) that occurred in the past and is currently being treated. This means a portion of the toe was severed due to an injury, but not the entire toe, and the patient is now receiving follow-up care for this condition.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or follow-up appointments, related to a previously sustained partial traumatic amputation of a right lesser toe. This code is appropriate for encounters occurring after the initial injury and active treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and identifies the affected side (right) and digit(s) (lesser toe).
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial injury or a sequela requiring a different code.
• Pair with an external cause code to fully describe the circumstances of the original injury.
