About S69.91

S69.91 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified injury of right 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 S69.9 (unspecified injury of wrist, hand and finger(s)), S69.91 is specifically for unspecified injury of right wrist, hand and finger(s). Related codes cover unspecified wrist, hand and finger(s) (S69.90) and left wrist, hand and finger(s) (S69.92).

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.
