What is the fastest way to heal a scratched eye?
ICD-10-CM Code for Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, right eye S05. 01.
ICD-10-CM Code for Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, left eye, initial encounter S05. 02XA.
918.1For instance, using the corneal abrasion example from earlier, entering the ICD-9 corneal abrasion code, 918.1, into a GEM converter would give you the ICD-10 code S05.

Keeping it simple is typically best. The general ICD-10 code to describe the initial evaluation of a patient with a corneal abrasion using ICD-10 is: S05. 02XA – Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, left eye, initial encounter.
•A trauma or tear to the delicate tissue on the outermost layer of the eye. •Symptoms include redness, sensitivity to light, and the sensation that something is in the eye. •Treatments include antibiotic eye drops or ointment and keeping the eye closed to heal. •Involves Ophthalmology.
Your cornea can be scratched by contact with dust, dirt, sand, wood shavings, metal particles, contact lenses or even the edge of a piece of paper. Corneal abrasions caused by plant matter (such as a pine needle) usually require special attention as they can cause a delayed inflammation inside the eye (iritis).
Adverse effect of antiviral drugs, initial encounter T37. 5X5A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T37. 5X5A became effective on October 1, 2021.
Z17.0ICD-10 code Z17. 0 for Estrogen receptor positive status [ER+] is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
However, coders should not code Z91. 81 as a primary diagnosis unless there is no other alternative, as this code is from the “Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services,” similar to the V-code section from ICD-9.
When a patient has a history of cerebrovascular disease without any sequelae or late effects, ICD-10 code Z86. 73 should be assigned.
I63. 9 - Cerebral infarction, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S05.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
S05.0 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.
Corneal abrasion is a medical condition involving the loss of the surface epithelial layer of the eye's cornea.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S05.00XA and a single ICD9 code, 918.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
