The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

What is an ICD-10 diagnosis code? The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
5 Glaucoma secondary to other eye disorders.
ICD-10 code H40. 113 for Primary open-angle glaucoma, bilateral is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
A condition in which there is a build-up of fluid in the eye, which presses on the retina and the optic nerve.
Although 304 ICD-10 codes contain the word glaucoma, only one exists for glaucoma suspect (H40. 0).
Mixed Mechanism Glaucoma is a combination of narrow angles, or a decrease in space between the cornea and iris, and a clogged drainage system as in Open-Angle Glaucoma. This type of glaucoma may be the result of injury or disease.
ICD-10 code H40. 112 for Primary open-angle glaucoma, left eye is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
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.
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 main problem or pathology in glaucoma is caused by raised intraocular pressure. It is this raised pressure that compresses and damages the optic nerve. Once the optic nerve is damaged, it fails to carry visual information to the brain and this results in loss of vision.
Pre-glaucoma is a term used for patients with ocular hypertension (persons with elevated intraocular pressure but no detectable disc or visual field damage), and patients with large cup/disc ratios and normal visual fields who may or may not have early normal-tension glaucoma.
019 for Open angle with borderline findings, low risk, unspecified eye is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
Open-Angle Glaucoma Suspect, low risk. Category. Glaucoma. Description. A glaucoma suspect is a person with clinical findings and/or a combination of risk factors that indicate an increased likelihood of developing glaucoma.
