S02.32XA is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fracture of orbital floor, left side, initial encounter for closed fracture. The 7th character A marks it as an initial encounter code, used while the patient is receiving active treatment. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026) and groups to MS-DRG 11 through 13, 124 through 125, 963 through 965. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 413 closely related codes. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Fracture of head and neck, initial encounter.
For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, S02.32XA maps to CMS-HCC Category 399 (Major Head Injury without Loss of Consciousness) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 0.199 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2026.

Coding GuidelinesGuidance
The principles of multiple coding of injuries should be followed in coding fractures. Fractures of specified sites are coded individually by site, to the level of detail furnished by medical record content.
A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed. A fracture not indicated whether displaced or not displaced should be coded to displaced.
Initial vs. Subsequent Encounter for Fractures
Traumatic fractures are coded using the appropriate 7th character for initial encounter (A, B, C) while the patient is receiving active treatment for the fracture. The appropriate 7th character for initial encounter should also be assigned for a patient who delayed seeking treatment for the fracture or nonunion.
Fractures are coded using the appropriate 7th character for subsequent care for encounters after the patient has completed active treatment of the fracture and is receiving routine care for the fracture during the healing or recovery phase.
Care for complications of surgical treatment for fracture repairs during the healing or recovery phase should be coded with the appropriate complication codes.
Care of complications of fractures, such as malunion and nonunion, should be reported with the appropriate 7th character for subsequent care with nonunion (K, M, N) or subsequent care with malunion (P, Q, R).
The open fracture designations in the assignment of the 7th character for fractures of the forearm, femur and lower leg, including ankle are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification. When the Gustilo classification type is not specified for an open fracture, the 7th character for open fracture type I or II should be assigned (B, E, H, M, Q).

Patient EducationClinical
Facial Injuries and Disorders
Face injuries and disorders can cause pain and affect how you look. In severe cases, they can affect sight, speech, breathing and your ability to swallow. Fractures (broken bones), especially in the bones of your nose, cheekbone and jaw, are common facial injuries.

Questions About S02.32XAOverview
Is S02.32XA (Fracture of orbital floor, left side) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report fracture of orbital floor, left side, initial encounter for closed fracture on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What does the 7th character A in S02.32XA mean?
The final character A marks the initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for fracture of orbital floor, left side, such as an emergency visit or first evaluation.
What MS-DRG does S02.32XA group to?
When fracture of orbital floor, left side, initial encounter for closed fracture is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 11, 12, 13, 124, 125, 963, 964, 965, with relative weights from 0.7678 to 5.4541 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is S02.32XA a CC or MCC?
CMS lists S02.32XA as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2026. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 413 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of S02.32XA?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, fracture of orbital floor, left side, initial encounter for closed fracture converts to ICD-9-CM 802.6 (fx orbital floor-closed). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
What HCC is S02.32XA?
S02.32XA (fracture of orbital floor, left side, initial encounter for closed fracture) maps to CMS-HCC Category 399 (Major Head Injury without Loss of Consciousness), commonly written as HCC 399, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2026. It mapped to HCC 167 under the retired V24 model. It also maps in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22), ESRD (V21), and ESRD (V24) models. It does not map to any RxHCC in the Part D prescription drug model.
Does S02.32XA risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, S02.32XA adds a risk adjustment factor of about 0.199 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 0.052 to 0.349 depending on the payment segment). A more severe related category (HCC 397 and HCC 398) supersedes it when both are reported. See the full factor table on the HCC 399 category page.
