About S03.02

S03.02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for dislocation of jaw, left side. It belongs to category S03 (dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments 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 S03.0 (dislocation of jaw), S03.02 is specifically for dislocation of jaw, left side. Related codes cover unspecified side (S03.00), right side (S03.01) and bilateral (S03.03).

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.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
