S02.85Fracture of orbit, unspecified

S02.85 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fracture of orbit, unspecified. 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 S02.85 (orbit, unspecified) 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), other specified skull and facial bones, left side (S02.82), medial orbital wall (S02.83) and lateral orbital wall (S02.84).

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.

Don't report S02.85 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: lateral orbital wall (S02.84-), medial orbital wall (S02.83-), orbital floor (S02.3-) and orbital roof (S02.12-).
