ICD-10 code for nose broken

The ICD-10-CM code for nose broken is S02.2 (Fracture of nasal bones).

Within S02 (fracture of skull and facial bones), S02.2 is specifically for fracture of nasal bones. Related codes cover fracture of vault of skull (S02.0), fracture of base of skull (S02.1), fracture of orbital floor (S02.3), fracture of malar, maxillary and zygoma bones (S02.4), fracture of tooth (traumatic) (S02.5), fracture of mandible (S02.6), fractures of other specified skull and facial bones (S02.8) and fracture of unspecified skull and facial bones (S02.9).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter for closed fracture, B for initial encounter for open fracture, D for subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing, G for subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing, K for subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
