S98.149Partial traumatic amputation of one unspecified lesser toe

S98.149 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for partial traumatic amputation of one unspecified lesser toe. It belongs to category S98 (traumatic amputation of ankle and foot), 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 S98.14, choose S98.149 (unspecified lesser toe) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: right lesser toe (S98.141) and left lesser toe (S98.142).

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.
