What is corneal epithelial defect?

Disease. Corneal epithelial defects are focal areas of epithelial (outermost corneal layer) loss; they can be due to mechanical trauma, corneal dryness, neurotrophic disease, post surgical changes, infection, or any other of a variety of etiologies.

What is endothelial corneal dystrophy?

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is characterized by progressive loss of corneal endothelial cells, thickening of Descement's membrane and deposition of extracellular matrix in the form of guttae. When the number of endothelial cells becomes critically low, the cornea swells and causes loss of vision.

What is corneal Guttata?

Corneal guttata are droplet-like accumulations of non-banded collagen on the posterior surface of Descemet's membrane. The presence of focal thickenings of Descemet's membrane histologically named guttae.

What is posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy?

Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPMD, PPCD) is a rare, bilateral, autosomal dominant inherited corneal dystrophy. The corneal abnormality in PPMD occurs at the level of Descemet's membrane and endothelium, and rarely will result in corneal edema or elevated intraocular pressure.

Which of the following diagnoses is reported with code H27 00?

2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H27. 00: Aphakia, unspecified eye.

How do you code corneal abrasion in ICD 10?

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.

How do you bill a corneal abrasion?

When coding with CPT for a corneal abrasion, you will have an office visit to code; in this case either a 920X2 or a 992XX code could be appropriate to use for describing your professional services in examining the patient, determining the primary diagnosis and developing a treatment plan.

What causes recurrent corneal erosion?

Recurrent corneal erosion (RCE) is a common disorder causing ocular pain, tearing, photophobia, and visual impairments. Various factors such as ocular trauma, ocular surgery, corneal dystrophy, contact lens wear, and diabetes mellitus (DM) can cause RCE.

Code for Laterality

Except for dystrophies, corneal ICD-10 codes have a digit for laterality:

Some Commonly Used Codes

In these examples, report laterality by replacing the dash with a 1, 2, or 3.

Dystrophies

ICD-10’s section for hereditary corneal dystrophies lists 7 conditions. Each has only 1 code; no laterality is needed.

Excludes1 Notes

Excludes1 Notes flag conditions that can’t be billed in the same eye at the same patient encounter. For example, M35.01 Sjögren’s syndrome isn’t payable with H16.22 Keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Similarly, H1.21 Acute toxic conjunctivitis is not payable with T26- Burn and corrosion confined to eye and adnexa.

Injury and Trauma

T15.0- Corneal foreign body, T15.1- Conjunctival foreign body, and T26.1- Burn of cornea and conjunctival sac must be submitted as 7-character codes, with the final character being an A (if an initial encounter), D (subsequent encounter), or S (sequela).

What are the five layers of the cornea?

The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous epithelium, bowman's membrane, stroma, descemet's membrane, and mesenchymal endothelium.

What is the outermost layer of the eye?

The transparent part of the eye that covers the iris and the pupil and allows light to enter the inside. Your cornea is the outermost layer of your eye. It is clear and shaped like a dome. The cornea helps to shield the rest of the eye from germs, dust, and other harmful matter. It also helps your eye to focus.

Corneal Dystrophy: H18.5-

As previously, the fifth character of cor­neal dystrophy’s ICD-10 code (H18.5-) represents the type of dystrophy:

Corneal Transplant: T86.84-

As previously, the sixth character of the ICD-10 code for a corneal transplant (T86.84-) indicates type of transplant:

Payer Readiness

While federal payers implemented these codes on Oct. 1 (apart from the two U07 codes, which were implemented earlier), others may be slower to adopt them. You should therefore:
