Complete traumatic amp of two or more left lesser toes, subs

This code signifies the complete traumatic removal of at least two of the left lesser toes (any toe other than the great toe) due to an injury. The amputation is full, meaning the entire toe(s) distal to the metatarsophalangeal joint is severed. This specific code is for encounters following the initial treatment of the injury.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits, rehabilitation sessions, or subsequent surgical procedures related to a previously sustained complete traumatic amputation of two or more left lesser toes. It should be used when the patient is receiving ongoing care for the sequelae of the amputation, such as wound care, prosthetic fitting, or pain management.

• Ensure documentation specifies "complete" and "traumatic" amputation of at least two left lesser toes.
• Verify the encounter is not the initial treatment for the injury; look for "subsequent encounter" in the documentation.
• Do not use for partial amputations or amputations of the great toe.
