Insect bite, nonvenomous, of finger(s), without mention of infection

This code signifies a superficial skin injury caused by a non-venomous insect bite specifically located on one or more fingers. The bite is not complicated by any secondary bacterial infection.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient presents with an insect bite to the finger(s) and there is no mention of pus, erythema, warmth, or other signs of infection. This is appropriate for minor, uncomplicated bites.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nonvenomous" and "finger(s)" to accurately apply this code.
• If infection is present, a more specific code from the 680-686 series (e.g., cellulitis, abscess) should be used in conjunction or instead.
• Do not use for bites from venomous insects (e.g., spiders, scorpions) or for bites to other body sites.
