About S91.359

S91.359 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for open bite, unspecified foot. It belongs to category S91 (open wound of ankle, foot and toes), block S90-S99 (injuries to the ankle and foot) 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 S91.35, choose S91.359 (unspecified foot) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: right foot (S91.351) and left foot (S91.352).

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.
