How coders use this code

ICD-10-CM S02.102D is a billable, fully specified code, so it can be reported directly on a claim to document a diagnosis of fracture of base of skull, left side, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing. Coders assign it when the chart documentation supports this level of detail, always matching to the most specific code available and verifying against the chapter-specific guidelines published annually by NCHS/CMS.
