S02.82Fracture of other specified skull and facial bones, left side

S02.82 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fracture of other specified skull and facial bones, left side. It belongs to category S02 (fracture of skull and facial bones), 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 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S02.8, choose S02.82 (other specified skull and facial bones, left side) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: other specified skull and facial bones, unspecified side (S02.80), other specified skull and facial bones, right side (S02.81), medial orbital wall (S02.83), lateral orbital wall (S02.84) and orbit, unspecified (S02.85).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter for closed fracture, B for initial encounter for open fracture, D for subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing, G for subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing, K for subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
