We have a patient coming to our Wound Care Center that had a crush injury to his foot two weeks prior. I feel that it is appropriate to code the 928.20, crush injury to foot, but would like to know your opinions. There were no fractures, only a heavy object rolling over the patient's foot. The confusion for me is when to code something to a late effect, and when to code as an acute injury.
Thanks!
Thanks!
