RetiredICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

No longer in the code set. Submitting it will not be accepted for a current date of service.

Billable FY2016 only. In the code set FY2016 only, and removed after that.

Use instead:

S02.30XD Fracture of orbital floor, unspecified side, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing stated for FY2016
S02.31XD Fracture of orbital floor, right side, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing stated for FY2016
S02.32XD Fracture of orbital floor, left side, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing stated for FY2016

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Fracture of orbital floor, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
FY2017 Removed from the code set

How CDC's index refers to this code

Wording from the official alphabetic index. Much of it appears nowhere in the code description, which is why a search for the everyday phrase so often finds nothing.

Fracture, traumatic > blow-out
Fracture, traumatic > orbit, orbital > floor
