S00.33 vs S05
S00.33 (Contusion of nose) compared with S05 (Injury of eye and orbit), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. S00.33 carries an Excludes1 note covering S05: “injury of eye and orbit (S05.-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
