S60.46Insect bite (nonvenomous) of fingers

S60.46 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for insect bite (nonvenomous) of fingers. 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 10 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S60.4 (other superficial injuries of other fingers), S60.46 is specifically for insect bite (nonvenomous) of fingers. Related codes cover abrasion of fingers (S60.41), Blister (nonthermal) of fingers (S60.42), external constriction of fingers (S60.44), superficial foreign body of fingers (S60.45) and other superficial bite of fingers (S60.47).

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.
