S01.111A — Laceration without foreign body of right eyelid and periocular area, initial encounter
S01.111A is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for laceration without foreign body of right eyelid and periocular area, initial encounter. It is valid for submission on a claim.
7th character "A" — initial encounter
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S01
- A
- initial encounter
- D
- subsequent encounter
- S
- sequela
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above S01.111A
These are not written on S01.111A, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing S01.111A with anything listed here is a denial.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above S01.111A
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of S01.111A, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Other codes that can never be billed with S01.111A
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at S01.111A. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading S01.111A alone.
- S00Superficial injury of head
Risk adjustment
S01.111A does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Medicare coverage
S01.111A is named in 11 Medicare coverage policies — 11 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
