The ICD-10 codes for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) involve both laterality and staging. Correct staging enables more accurate characterization, which is important for understanding risk for visual loss; it also helps to ensure accurate documentation and efficient billing.

Why use a diagnosis code in the absence of an approved therapy? Accurate documentation and coding will help researchers and policymakers track the visual impairment and visual function deficits that are associated with the condition. Furthermore, when treatments do become available, you will be ready to code for them.

Prognosis. The risk of vision loss is higher with the involvement of the macula ; however, there can be difficulties with visual function in patients with GA without subfoveal involvement. The Academy Basic and Clinical Science Course3 notes the following regarding prognosis of patients with GA:
