S07.0Crushing injury of face

S07.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for crushing injury of face. It belongs to category S07 (crushing injury 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 S07 (crushing injury of head), S07.0 is specifically for crushing injury of face. Related codes cover skull (S07.1), other parts of head (S07.8) and part unspecified (S07.9).

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.

Use an additional code for all associated injuries, such as: intracranial injuries (S06.-) and skull fractures (S02.-).

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