S00.2 — Other and unspecified superficial injuries of eyelid and periocular area
S00.2 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other and unspecified superficial injuries of eyelid and periocular area. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.
This code requires a 7th character
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S00
- A
- initial encounter
- D
- subsequent encounter
- S
- sequela
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
- superficial injury of conjunctiva and cornea (S05.0-)
Other codes that can never be billed with S00.2
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at S00.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading S00.2 alone.
Risk adjustment
S00.2 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
