Question: Depending upon the payer, we receive denials for infants with nasal lacrimal duct obstruction. Is there one ICD-10 code that fits all payers’ requirements?
Lacrimal duct stenosis is a narrowing of a tear duct (lacrimal duct). It can happen in children and adults. This fact sheet will focus on lacrimal duct stenosis in infants. Lacrimal Duct. The lacrimal duct (in blue) drains tears from the eye down into the nose.
ICD-10 code H04. 53 for Neonatal obstruction of nasolacrimal duct is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) is a common condition causing excessive tearing or mucoid discharge from the eyes, due to blockage of the nasolacrimal duct system. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction affects as many as 20% children aged <1 year worldwide and is often resolved without surgery.
Stenosis of bilateral lacrimal punctum The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H04. 563 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The nasolacrimal duct is a channel that allows tears to drain from the external eye to the nasal cavity. A nasolacrimal duct obstruction is an acquired or congenital obstruction of the drainage system resulting in epiphora or excessive tearing.
Blocked Tear Duct (Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction) A blocked tear duct occurs when your nasal passageways cannot properly drain tear liquid from your eyes. You may have itchy, irritated or watery eyes. Sometimes, babies are born with blocked tear ducts. A clogged tear duct may heal on its own, or you may need surgery.
Punctal stenosis is clinically defined as a punctum caliber restricting tear drainage in the absence of distal tear drainage abnormalities, namely canalicular obstruction or nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
Congenital dacryocystitis is due to delayed canalization of fibrous layer of the nasal mucoperiosteum and imperforate membrane, valve of Hasner at the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct. It is the last portion of the lacrimal drainage system to canalize, complete patency usually occur soon after birth [2].
A blocked tear duct is called dacryostenosis. It may also be called a congenital lacrimal duct obstruction. Congenital means that your baby is born with it. Tears help clean and lubricate your baby's eyes. They're made in the lacrimal gland.
Use CPT code 68801 (Dilation of lacrimal punctum, with or without irrigation) or 68840 (Probing of lacrimal canaliculi, with or without irrigation) to report this procedure, depending on the position and manipulation of the irrigating cannula.
Punctal occlusion by plug is assigned to APC code 5501. The 2020 ASC facility allowable for 68761 is $97; the HOPD rate is $270. Multiple surgery rules apply so second and subsequent procedures are allowed at a reduced rate. There is no separate payment made for the supply of the plugs.

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as H04.53. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CLDO) is the condition in which a tear duct has failed to open at the time of birth. Around 6% of infants have CLDO, usually experiencing a persistent watery eye even when not crying. The condition is also known as dacryostenosis.
