S00.1 — Contusion of eyelid and periocular area
Is S00.1 billable?
No — S00.1 is a non-billable header code. S00.1 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 9 billable codes beneath S00.1.

Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of S00.1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S00.1 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- contusion of eyeball and orbital tissues (S05.1-)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to S00.1.
- Black eye
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S00
The conditions below can never be reported together with S00.1 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S00.1 to fully describe the condition. S00.1 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
