Low-tension glaucoma, unspecified eye, stage unspecified. H40.1290 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM H40.1290 became effective on October 1, 2018.
Low-tension glaucoma, left eye, stage unspecified. H40.1220 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
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.
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.
Low-tension glaucoma, unspecified eye, stage unspecified H40. 1290 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
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 Enhanced Glaucoma Severity Staging system (eGSS). EGSS has a total of 7 stages: 0, the border between 0 & 1, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, where stage 0 are fields with no defect and stage 4 are fields with the greatest defect.
Coding for Glaucoma. Glaucoma (ICD-9-CM category 365) is a group of conditions resulting in optic nerve damage caused by increased intraocular pressure. It can cause a gradual progression of vision loss if left untreated.
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. For assistance in converting ICD-9 codes to ICD-10, this site allows you to look up ...
For example, if the patient is exhibiting mild or early stage glaucoma, the seventh digit for the ICD-10 would be a 1.
Indeterminate Stage. For various reasons, there are some cases when the glaucoma stage either has not yet been determined or cannot be determined. For patients who are incapable of completing a visual field test, those who have not yet had time to complete a visual field test or those whose visual field was unreliable, ...
Adjusting to the ICD-10 is a challenge for any medical billing office, but one requirement that optometrists and ophthalmologists is particularly important: a glaucoma diagnosis is not simply a glaucoma diagnosis.
