Used for medical claim reporting in all healthcare settings, ICD-10-CM is a standardized classification system of diagnosis codes that represent conditions and diseases, related health problems, abnormal findings, signs and symptoms, injuries, external causes of injuries and diseases, and social circumstances.

The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.

And what is considered "superficial"? "A superficial injury of the ankle, foot, and/or toes involves a minimal scrape, cut, blister, bite, bruise, external constriction, foreign body, or other minor wound due to trauma or surgery." S90. 852 is an injury code for a superficial foreign body, left foot.
ICD-10 code M79. 5 for Residual foreign body in soft tissue is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
Code 10120 requires that the foreign body be removed by incision (eg, removal of a deep splinter from the finger that requires incision). If a foreign body is removed using forceps, it is inherent to the evaluation and management (E/M) service.
In addition, the incision removes any controversy about whether the foreign body removal is compensable with the code 10120 (incision and removal of foreign body, simple).
In medical terms, a foreign object is something that is in the body but doesn't belong there. Foreign objects may be inserted into the body accidentally or intentionally. They are also sometimes swallowed. They can become lodged or stuck in various parts of the body, such as the ears, nose, eyes, and airways.
Retained foreign bodies (RFBs) are a surgical complication resulting from foreign materials accidently left in a patient's body. This review attempts to give an overview of different types of RFBs, problems related to them and their management after the surgical operation.
Soft tissue foreign bodies most commonly occur secondary to penetrating or abrasive trauma, and they can result in patient discomfort, deformity, delayed wound healing, localized and systemic infection, and further trauma during attempts at removal. [1, 3, 4] See images below for examples of foreign body presentations.
Foreign body reaction (FBR) is an unavoidable process which takes place whenever any material becomes implanted into the body. The process of implantation injures the tissue around the foreign object, which triggers an inflammatory process.
The foreign body reaction composed of macrophages and foreign body giant cells is the end-stage response of the inflammatory and wound healing responses following implantation of a medical device, prosthesis, or biomaterial. A brief, focused overview of events leading to the foreign body reaction is presented.
A foreign body granuloma is a non-allergic chronic inflammatory reaction that is mainly composed of multinucleated giant cells. Foreign body granulomas may occur after the administration of any dermal filler.
A foreign body is something that is stuck inside you but isn't supposed to be there. You may inhale or swallow a foreign body, or you may get one from an injury to almost any part of your body. Foreign bodies are more common in small children, who sometimes stick things in their mouths, ears, and noses.
The sensation that something is in the eye commonly brings people to the ophthalmologist. This is referred to as a "foreign body sensation", as if a foreign object were scratching the eye. Usually this sensation originates from the cornea, which is the clear part of the eye through which we see.
Metallic objects, except aluminum, are opaque, and most animal bones and all glass foreign bodies are opaque on radiographs. Most plastic and wooden foreign bodies (cactus thorns, splinters) and most fish bones are not opaque on radiographs.
What Causes Foreign Objects into the Body? Foreign objects can get to your body in various ways. Small objects can be swallowed or inserted into most parts of the body either knowingly or unknowingly. Due to natural curiosity, children are more likely to swallow or insert objects in their ears or nose.
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Superficial injury of wrist, hand and fingers (S60). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:
Non-specific codes like S60.551 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10 codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for superficial foreign body of right hand:
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
If you've ever gotten a splinter or had sand in your eye, you've had experience with a foreign body. A foreign body is something that is stuck inside you but isn't supposed to be there. You may inhale or swallow a foreign body, or you may get one from an injury to almost any part of your body.
