Subungual hematoma L 1st toenail
Neurologic

limping gait
Psychiatric
Judgment and Insight: Appears appropriate; Mood and Affect: Affect appropriate

XR L 1st toe = No Fx, normal alignment, no STS

Assessment And Plan:
1) L 1st toe subungual hematoma - 2 burr holes made with 18g needle, small about of serosanguinous fluid expressed, suspect this blood has coagulated. Pt had some relief after drainaged. Advised warm soaks.

Diagnoses:
Subungual hematoma - L60.8
 
I believe S90.112A is more specific code for subungual hematoma and since this is the result of external injury, you might need to code hit by "heavy ramp" as external cause. For the procedure, the CPT code 11740 is more appropriate based on the procedure done. Hope this helps.
