S92402D - Follow-up visit for a displaced fracture of the left big toe that is healing normally
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This code is used for a subsequent healthcare visit (follow-up appointment) for a patient who previously had a displaced fracture of their left great toe (big toe). The fracture type was unspecified in the original diagnosis, but the bone pieces were displaced (moved out of their normal position). This particular code indicates that the patient is now in the healing phase and the fracture is healing as expected without complications. This is not the code used for the initial injury visit, but rather for follow-up care to monitor the healing progress.
Additional Information
This is a subsequent encounter code (indicated by the 'D' suffix) used for routine follow-up visits during the healing phase. The original fracture would have been coded differently during the initial encounter.
