This is the American ICD-10-CM version of H54.42 - other international versions of ICD-10 H54.42 may differ. injury (trauma) of eye and orbit ( S05.-) Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H47.61 Cortical blindness Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code Clinical Information Total loss of vision in all or part of the visual field due to bilateral occipital lobe (i.e., visual cortex) damage or dysfunction. Anton syndrome is characterized by the psychic denial of true, organic cortical blindness.

Obstruction in blood flow (ischemia) to the brain can lead to permanent damage. This is called a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). It is also known as cerebral infarction or stroke. Rupture of an artery with bleeding into the brain (hemorrhage) is called a CVA, too.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side I69. 351.
Hemiparesis is a mild or partial weakness or loss of strength on one side of the body. Hemiplegia is a severe or complete loss of strength or paralysis on one side of the body. The difference between the two conditions primarily lies in severity.
Coding Guidelines Residual neurological effects of a stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) should be documented using CPT category I69 codes indicating sequelae of cerebrovascular disease. Codes I60-67 specify hemiplegia, hemiparesis, and monoplegia and identify whether the dominant or nondominant side is affected.

Hemiplegia, unspecified affecting left nondominant side The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G81. 94 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G81.
Injury to the left side of the brain, which controls language and speaking, can result in right-sided weakness. Left-sided weakness results from injury to the right side of the brain, which controls nonverbal communication and certain behaviors.
Cerebral Infarction (Sequela) Hemiplegia is defined as paralysis of partial or total body function on one side of the body, whereas hemiparesis is characterized by one‐sided weakness, but without complete paralysis.
Read it. (Stroke on the right side of the brain) After a stroke in the right hemisphere the patient is paralyzed on the left side of the body and vice versa. Paralysis is not always the case.
What is a left hemispheric stroke? A left hemispheric stroke happens when blood cannot flow to the left hemisphere (side) of your brain. A stroke caused by a blood clot is called an ischemic stroke.
As the name implies, right hemiparesis is weakness on the right side of the body, while left hemiparesis is weakness on the left side of the body.
25, that states “when unilateral weakness is clearly documented as being associated with a stroke, it is considered synonymous with hemiparesis or hemiplegia.” This reinforces the translation of the word paresis- muscular weakness caused by nerve damage or disease. Hemi- one side.

Blindness, left eye, low vision right eye. H54.12 should not be used for reimbursement purpose s as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.
Cerebrovascular accident (also known as CVA) is the medical term for a stroke. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes.
The quicker you can get a diagnosis and treatment for a stroke, the better your prognosis will be. For this reason, it’s important to understand and recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Emergency treatment for stroke depends on whether you’re having an ischemic stroke or a stroke that involves bleeding into the brain. To treat an ischemic stroke, doctors must quickly restore blood flow to your brain.
If “blindness” or “low vision” of both eyes is documented but the visual impairment category is not documented, assign code H54.3, Unqualified visual loss, both eyes. If “blindness” or “low vision” in one eye is documented but the visual impairment category is not documented, assign a code from H54.6-, Unqualified visual loss, one eye. If “blindness” or “visual loss” is documented without any information about whether one or both eyes are affected, assign code H54.7, Unspecified visual loss.
ICD-10 codes for blindness and low vision are effective Oct. 1, 2017 and reflect parameters from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The definition of visual impairment and blindness contained the term “best Corrected Vision in the better eye. According to WHO, recent studies have shown that the use of “best corrected” vision overlooks large portions of visual impairments, including blindness, due to uncorrected refracted error.
The category, H54, includes codes for blindness and low vision and with that brings many changes for documentation and coding. In 2013 the World Health Organization (WHO) campaigned for greater clarity in the reporting of blindness and low vision and with this latest update we will be following those parameters.
Categories are divided between mild or no visual impairment, moderate, severe and blindness.
Uncorrected refractive error is now considered to be a major cause of visual impairment and estimations are under way to calculate the loss in terms of disability-adjusted life years (DALY) resulting from this cause.
