S67.1Crushing injury of other and unspecified finger(s)

S67.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for crushing injury of other and unspecified finger(s). It belongs to category S67 (crushing 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S67, choose S67.1 (other and unspecified finger(s)) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: thumb (S67.0), hand (S67.2), wrist (S67.3), wrist and hand (S67.4) and unspecified part(s) of wrist, hand and fingers (S67.9).

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.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of S67.1, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: crushing injury of thumb (S67.0-).

Use an additional code for all associated injuries, such as: fracture of wrist and hand (S62.-) and open wound of wrist and hand (S61.-).

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