About S99.921
S99.921 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified injury of right foot. It belongs to category S99 (other and unspecified injuries 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 S99.92 (unspecified injury of foot), S99.921 is specifically for unspecified injury of right foot. Related codes cover left foot (S99.922) and unspecified foot (S99.929).
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.
