Partial traumatic MCP amputation of left little finger, subs

This code signifies a partial traumatic amputation of the left little finger at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint level, meaning the finger was severed but not completely removed. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific injury, such as wound management, physical therapy, or monitoring for complications.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for ongoing treatment related to a partial traumatic amputation of their left little finger at the MCP joint. This includes visits for dressing changes, infection checks, rehabilitation, or assessment of healing after the initial acute phase of injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and the exact location (left little finger, MCP joint).
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the injury, as indicated by the "D" seventh character.
• Confirm the traumatic nature of the amputation; non-traumatic amputations would require a different code series.
