S01.45Open bite of cheek and temporomandibular area

S01.45 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for open bite of cheek and temporomandibular area. It belongs to category S01 (open wound of head), block S00-S09 (injuries to the head) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S01.4 (open wound of cheek and temporomandibular area), S01.45 is specifically for open bite of cheek and temporomandibular area. Related codes cover unspecified open wound of cheek and temporomandibular area (S01.40), laceration without foreign body of cheek and temporomandibular area (S01.41), laceration with foreign body of cheek and temporomandibular area (S01.42), puncture wound without foreign body of cheek and temporomandibular area (S01.43) and puncture wound with foreign body of cheek and temporomandibular area (S01.44).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of S01.45, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: superficial bite of cheek and temporomandibular area (S00.86, S00.87).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
