ICD-10 code for hand wound

The ICD-10-CM code for hand wound is S61.40 (Unspecified open wound of hand).

Within S61.4, choose S61.40 (Unspecified open wound of hand) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: laceration without foreign body of hand (S61.41), laceration with foreign body of hand (S61.42), puncture wound without foreign body of hand (S61.43), puncture wound with foreign body of hand (S61.44) and open bite of hand (S61.45).

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.
