About coding thumb contusion
The ICD-10-CM code for thumb contusion is S60.01 (Contusion of thumb without damage to nail). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S60.01.
Within S60.0, choose S60.01 (thumb without damage to nail) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified finger without damage to nail (S60.00), index finger without damage to nail (S60.02), middle finger without damage to nail (S60.03), ring finger without damage to nail (S60.04) and little finger without damage to nail (S60.05).
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.
