Z89.02Acquired absence of other finger(s)

Z89.02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acquired absence of other finger(s). It belongs to category Z89 (acquired absence of limb), block Z77-Z99 (persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status) and chapter 21 (factors influencing health status and contact with health services). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Z89.0, choose Z89.02 (other finger(s)) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: thumb (Z89.01).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z89.021 (finger(s)), Z89.022 (finger(s)) and Z89.029 (finger(s)).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of Z89.02, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: acquired absence of thumb (Z89.01-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
