Burn first deg mult right fngr (nail), not inc thumb, sqla

This code signifies a healed or residual effect from a first-degree burn that previously affected multiple fingers on the right hand, excluding the thumb. It indicates that the initial acute injury has resolved, but there are lasting consequences such as scarring, contracture, or chronic pain related to the burn.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a long-term complication or sequela directly attributable to a first-degree burn of multiple right fingers (excluding the thumb). This would apply to follow-up visits for scar management, functional limitations, or chronic discomfort stemming from the original burn injury.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past burn injury.
• Verify that the burn was indeed first-degree and involved multiple right fingers, excluding the thumb.
• This "S" seventh character indicates sequela; do not use for active or acute burn treatment.
