S02.831 — Fracture of medial orbital wall, right side
Is S02.831 billable?
No — S02.831 is a non-billable header code. S02.831 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 6 billable codes beneath S02.831.

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S02.831 to fully describe the condition. S02.831 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S02.831, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S02.831 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S00-S09
The conditions below are not part of S02.831, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S02.831 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)
- effects of foreign body in nose (T17.0-T17.1)
- effects of foreign body in pharynx (T17.2)
- effects of foreign body on external eye (T15.-)
- frostbite (T33-T34)
- insect bite or sting, venomous (T63.4)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S02.8
The conditions below are not part of S02.831, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S02.831 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S02.83

- for any associated infection
Code also — inherited from S02

How long has S02.831 existed?
S02.831 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.
