About coding finger absence

The ICD-10-CM code for finger absence is Z89.02 (Acquired absence of other finger(s)).

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-).
