H40. 9 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 H40.
Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of the disease. The drainage angle formed by the cornea and iris remains open, but the trabecular meshwork is partially blocked. This causes pressure in the eye to gradually increase. This pressure damages the optic nerve.
Our physicians have used IDC-10 code F07. 81 as the primary diagnosis for patients presenting with post concussion syndrome.
The note in ICD-10 under codes B95-B97 states that 'these categories are provided for use as supplementary or additional codes to identify the infectious agent(s) in disease classified elsewhere', so you would not use B96. 81 as a primary diagnosis, but as an additional code with the disease listed first.
Moderate stage glaucoma is noted with a “2” as the final digit in the diagnosis code. As in the example above, moderate stage open angle glaucoma with borderline findings and low risk the ICD-10 code would be H40. 011X2 for the right eye and H40. 012X2 for the left eye.
The retina is the layer of nerve tissue inside the eye that senses light and sends images along the optic nerve to the brain. Glaucoma can damage the optic nerve and cause loss of vision or blindness. A disorder characterized by an increase in pressure in the eyeball due to obstruction of the aqueous humor outflow.
Increased pressure in the eyeball due to obstruction of the outflow of aqueous humor.
An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function . The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.

early treatment can help protect your eyes against vision loss. Treatments usually include prescription eyedrops and/or surgery. nih: national eye institute. Group of diseases characterized by increased intraocular pressure resulting in damage to the optic nerve and retinal nerve fibers.
Glaucoma damages the eye's optic nerve. It is a leading cause of blindness in the United States. It usually happens when the fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises, damaging the optic nerve. Often there are no symptoms at first, but a comprehensive eye exam can detect it.

According to the AAO, the primary differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10 for glaucoma billing is that some billing codes do not have a laterality digit. In those cases, the seventh digit to designate stage is required. When designating the glaucoma stage, the most advanced eye stage should be used for both eyes. That is, if a patient has moderate stage glaucoma in the right eye and early stage glaucoma in the left, both eyes should be coded as stage 2.
If the patient is demonstrating optic nerve abnormalities consistent with glaucoma and glaucomatous visual field abnormalities in one hemifield and not within 5 degrees of fixation , then they are demonstrating what the AAO considers moderate stage glaucoma.
In this situation, the seventh digit “1” would be paired with the code for the type of glaucoma that the patient is exhibiting. For example, using the AAO’s Glaucoma Quick Reference Guide, a patient with early stage open angle glaucoma with borderline findings and low risk (one or two risk factors) would be coded as H40.011X1 for the right eye and H40.012X1 for the left eye.
For example, if the patient is exhibiting mild or early stage glaucoma, the seventh digit for the ICD-10 would be a 1.
The AAO and American Glaucoma Society defines mild or early stage glaucoma as demonstrating the optic nerve abnormalities associated with glaucoma, but no current impact on the visual field. Only patients without visual abnormalities or with “abnormalities present only on short-wavelength automated perimetry or frequency doubling perimetry” would qualify as having mild or early stage glaucoma.
When designating the glaucoma stage, the most advanced eye stage should be used for both eyes. That is, if a patient has moderate stage glaucoma in the right eye and early stage glaucoma in the left, both eyes should be coded as stage 2.
