S02.83 — Fracture of medial orbital wall
Is S02.83 billable?
No — S02.83 is a non-billable header code. S02.83 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 18 billable codes beneath S02.83.

How is S02.83 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to S02.83. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Fracture, traumatic › orbit, orbital › wall › medial (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of S02.83, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S02.83 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S02.83 to fully describe the condition. S02.83 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)

The conditions below are not part of S02.83, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S02.83 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S00-S09
The conditions below are not part of S02.83, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S02.83 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- burns and corrosions (T20-T32)
- effects of foreign body in ear (T16)
- effects of foreign body in larynx (T17.3)
- effects of foreign body in mouth NOS (T18.0)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S02.8
The conditions below are not part of S02.83, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S02.83 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Code also — inherited from S00-S09
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S02.83 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- for any associated infection

What codes fall under S02.83? (3)
How long has S02.83 existed?
S02.83 first appears in FY2021 (FY2020 is not available, so it may have appeared then).
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
