S05 — Injury of eye and orbit
Not billable
Is S05 billable?
No — S05 is a non-billable header code. S05 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 60 billable codes beneath S05.

Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of S05, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S05 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Includes
Conditions classified to S05.
- open wound of eye and orbit
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S05 to fully describe the condition. S05 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)

The conditions below are not part of S05, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S05 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S00-S09
The conditions below are not part of S05, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S05 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)
Code also — inherited from S00-S09
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S05 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- for any associated infection

How long has S05 existed?
S05 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
Which codes are confused with S05?
ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with S05 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
