About coding toe contusion
The ICD-10-CM code for toe contusion is S90.12 (Contusion of lesser toe without damage to nail). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S90.12.
Within S90.1, choose S90.12 (lesser toe without damage to nail) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: great toe without damage to nail (S90.11).
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.
