Right Ankle Injury ICD-10-CM Codes

The seventh character in an ICD code for an injury typically signifies the encounter type, such as an initial encounter or subsequent encounter for the injury.

Not typically. The severity and type of the injury, like a sprain versus a fracture, will influence the specific ICD-10 code used.

Updates to ICD codes in a patient's record should occur whenever there is a significant change in diagnosis, treatment, or health condition.
