ICD-10 code for nose wound

The ICD-10-CM code for nose wound is S01.20 (Unspecified open wound of nose).

Within S01.2, choose S01.20 (Unspecified open wound of nose) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: laceration without foreign body of nose (S01.21), laceration with foreign body of nose (S01.22), puncture wound without foreign body of nose (S01.23), puncture wound with foreign body of nose (S01.24) and open bite of nose (S01.25).

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