S56.1 — Injury of flexor muscle, fascia and tendon of other and unspecified finger at forearm level
Not billable
Is S56.1 billable?
No — S56.1 is a non-billable header code. S56.1 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 60 billable codes beneath S56.1.

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S56.1 to fully describe the condition. S56.1 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S56.1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S56.1 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S50-S59
The conditions below are not part of S56.1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S56.1 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S56
The conditions below are not part of S56.1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S56.1 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Code also — inherited from S56
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S56.1 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated open wound (S51.-)
