Superficial injury of head (S00) ICD-10-CM
The S00 code range covers superficial injury of head with 416 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 288 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- diffuse cerebral contusion S06.2
- focal cerebral contusion S06.3
- injury of eye and orbit S05
- open wound of head S01
7th Character Note
Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S00
7th Character
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela

About the S00 Code Range
ICD-10 code S00 refers to superficial injuries of the head, covering a range of minor wounds including abrasions, contusions, blisters, bites, and foreign bodies affecting areas such as the scalp, eyelids, nose, ears, lips, oral cavity, and other parts of the head. These codes specify details like the exact location, injury type, and encounter stage (initial, subsequent, or sequela).
This section differentiates codes by specific sites like the scalp (S00.0), eyelid and periocular area (S00.1), nose (S00.3), ears (S00.4), and lips and oral cavity (S00.5). Common conditions such as abrasion, contusion (bruising), blisters, superficial foreign bodies (splinters), and nonvenomous insect bites are captured. Many codes include synonyms to help coders identify these injuries, for example, "abrasion of scalp," "contusion of scalp," or "superficial injury of right ear." Encounter codes (7th character) indicate whether it is an initial treatment, follow-up, or sequela (late effect). This detailed classification aids in precise documentation and billing of minor head injuries in medical records.
