Insect bite (nonvenomous), left lesser toe(s), init encntr

This code signifies a nonvenomous insect bite affecting one or more of the lesser toes on the patient's left foot. It indicates the initial presentation and treatment for this specific injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents to a healthcare facility for the first time due to a non-toxic insect bite on their left second, third, fourth, or fifth toe. This includes bites from common insects like mosquitoes, flies, or ants, where no venomous reaction is suspected.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" lesser toe(s) and confirms the bite is nonvenomous.
• Verify this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury. Subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Do not use for bites from venomous insects (e.g., spiders, scorpions, wasps) or for bites on the great toe.
