What Corneal Abrasion ICD-10 codes can I use?
If you’re looking for Corneal Abrasion ICD codes, there are nine that you can pick from.
The most basic codes for Corneal Abrasion are the following:
- S05.00XA - Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, unspecified eye, initial encounter
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have an injury of the conjunctiva and a corneal abrasion without a foreign body.
This code has the initial encounter label, meaning the patient receives active treatment for the problem.
- S05.00XD - Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, unspecified eye, subsequent encounter
This is the same as the previous code, but there’s a subsequent encounter label this time, which means the patient is in the recovery phase and is still being given active/routine treatment.
- S05.00XS - Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, unspecified eye, sequela
This is the same as the previous two codes, but there’s a sequela label this time. This means the patient is dealing with the aftereffects of the problem. Given this, this ICD-10 code should be accompanied by two other ICD-10 codes, one of which should designate the sequela’s nature, while the other should describe the sequela (meaning its effects).
All three of these codes also have unspecified labels. This means the specific affected eye hasn’t been identified. Once the affected eye has been identified, please use the following codes instead:
For the right eye:
- S05.01XA - Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, right eye, initial encounter
- S05.01XD - Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, right eye, subsequent encounter
- S05.01XS - Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, right eye, sequela
For the left eye:
- S05.02XA - Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, left eye, initial encounter
- S05.02XD - Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, left eye, subsequent encounter
- S05.02XS - Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, left eye, sequela
