S69.9Unspecified injury of wrist, hand and finger(s)

S69.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified injury of wrist, hand and finger(s). It belongs to category S69 (other and unspecified injuries of wrist, hand and finger(s)), 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 S69, choose S69.9 (Unspecified injury of wrist, hand and finger(s)) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: other specified injuries of wrist, hand and finger(s) (S69.8).

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.
