About S67.196

S67.196 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for crushing injury of right little finger. 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S67.19 (crushing injury of other finger(s)), S67.196 is specifically for crushing injury of right little finger. Related codes cover right index finger (S67.190), left index finger (S67.191), right middle finger (S67.192), left middle finger (S67.193), right ring finger (S67.194), left ring finger (S67.195), left little finger (S67.197) and other finger (S67.198).

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.

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.
