The Alphabetical Index of diagnostic terms (plus their corresponding ICD-10 codes) lists thousands of “main terms” alphabetically. Under each of those main terms, there is often a sublist of more-detailed terms—for instance, “Cataract” has a sublist of 84 terms.

Retinitis pigmentosa: It is the most commonly seen retinal dystrophy. RP is a progressive rod-cone disease with rods affected first and has a high level of clinical and genetic heterogeneity. The age of presentation and the prognosis depends on the type of inheritance.
Z20 - Contact with and (suspected) exposure to communicable diseases. ICD-10-CM.
Chronic pulmonary insufficiency following surgery J95. 3 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 J95. 3 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The ICD-10 Code for muscular dystrophy is G71. 0.
For asymptomatic individuals with actual or suspected exposure to COVID-19, assign code Z20. 822. For symptomatic individuals with actual or suspected exposure to COVID-19 and the infection has been ruled out, or test results are inconclusive or unknown, assign code Z20. 822.
Inoculations and Vaccinations ICD-10-CM Coding Code Z23, which is used to identify encounters for inoculations and vaccinations, indicates that a patient is being seen to receive a prophylactic inoculation against a disease.
Respiratory insufficiency and failure can be defined broadly as the impairment of respiratory gas exchange between the ambient air and circulating blood. Respiratory insufficiency and failure are generally categorized into one of two types—hypercapnic or hypoxemic.
Pulmonary (or pulmonic) insufficiency (or incompetence, or regurgitation) is a condition in which the pulmonary valve is incompetent and allows backflow from the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle of the heart during diastole.
In ICD-10-CM the classification of Respiratory Failure (J96) includes “acute (J96. 0-)”, “chronic” (J96. 1-). “acute and chronic” (J96.
Congenital muscular dystrophy is one of the variants of muscle weakness disorders presenting early in life during infancy and soon after birth. The difference between congenital myopathies and muscular dystrophies is that dystrophies are gradually progressive and are associated with increased muscle breakdown with age.
Myopathy in diseases classified elsewhere G73. 7 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 G73. 7 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. In muscular dystrophy, abnormal genes (mutations) interfere with the production of proteins needed to form healthy muscle.
However, the Alphabetical Index doesn’t include coding instructions, which are in the Tabular List. The Tabular List of ICD-10 codes (plus their descriptors) is organized alphanumerically from A00.0 to Z99.89. It is divided into chapters based on body part or condition.
This means that ICD-10 doesn’t include pseudopterygium as part of any condition represented by the H11.1- codes, but it is possible for a patient to have both at the same time—and if that’s the case with your patient, you would submit the relevant H11.1- code along with H11.81.
When you use the codes for dry AMD (H35.31xx) and wet AMD (H35.32xx), you must use the sixth character to indicate laterality as follows:
The codes for dry AMD—H35.31xx—use the seventh character to indicate staging as follows:
When is the retina considered atrophic? The Academy Preferred Practice Pattern1 defines GA as follows:
The Academy recommends that when coding, you indicate whether the GA involves the center of the fovea: Code H35.31x4 if it does and H35.31x3 if it doesn’t, with “x” indicating laterality.
The codes for wet AMD—H35.32xx—use the sixth character to indicate laterality and the seventh character to indicate staging as follows:
