Insect bite, nonvenomous, of foot and toe(s), infected

This code signifies a non-venomous insect bite located on the foot or any of the toes, which has subsequently developed a localized infection. The infection is typically bacterial, manifesting as redness, swelling, warmth, and tenderness at the bite site.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a non-venomous insect bite on the foot or toes, and there is explicit mention of infection. This is appropriate for conditions like cellulitis or impetigo secondary to the bite. Documentation should specify the anatomical site and the presence of infection.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nonvenomous" and the exact anatomical location (foot/toes).
• Do not use for bites from venomous insects (e.g., spiders, scorpions) or for bites without documented infection.
• Consider an additional code for the specific type of infection if further detail is provided (e.g., cellulitis).
