S60.02Contusion of index finger without damage to nail

S60.02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contusion of index finger without damage to nail. It belongs to category S60 (superficial injury of wrist, hand and fingers), block S60-S69 (injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S60.0, choose S60.02 (index finger without damage to nail) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified finger without damage to nail (S60.00), thumb without damage to nail (S60.01), middle finger without damage to nail (S60.03), ring finger without damage to nail (S60.04) and little finger without damage to nail (S60.05).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
