About S05
S05 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for injury of eye and orbit. It belongs to 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 10 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: S05.0 (body), S05.1 (tissues), S05.2 (tissue), S05.3 (tissue), S05.4 (body), S05.5 (eyeball), S05.6 (eyeball), S05.7 (eye) and 2 more.
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of S05, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: 2nd cranial [optic] nerve injury (S04.0-), 3rd cranial [oculomotor] nerve injury (S04.1-), open wound of eyelid and periocular area (S01.1-), orbital bone fracture (S02.1-, S02.3-, S02.8-) and 1 more.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
