372.72 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of conjunctival hemorrhage. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
This applies to hyposphagma and subconjunctival hemorrhage. Subconjunctival hemorrhages occur when a blood vessel breaks underneath the clear surface of the eye (conjunctiva). Blood becomes trapped under the surface and causes a bright red patch on the white of the eye.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11.31 H11.31 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 H11.31 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Subconjunctival hemorrhage is also known as bilat conjunctival hemorrhage, bilat subconjunctival hemorrhage, bilateral conjunctival hemorrhages, bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhage, conjunctival hemorrhage both eyes, L subconjunctival hemorrhage, left conjunctival hemorrhage, left subconjunctival hemorrhage, R subconjunctival hemorrhage, right conjunctival hemorrhage, right subconjunctival hemorrhage, subconjunctival hemorrhage, and subconjunctival hemorrhage both eyes.
Subconjunctival hemorrhages occur when a blood vessel breaks underneath the clear surface of the eye (conjunctiva). Blood becomes trapped under the surface and causes a bright red patch on the white of the eye. These hemorrhages are usually harmless and can be caused by violent coughing, heavy lifting, vomiting, and a powerful sneeze.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H11.30 and a single ICD9 code, 372.72 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
The ICD code H113 is used to code Subconjunctival hemorrhage. Subconjunctival hemorrhage, also known as subconjunctival haemorrhage and hyposphagma, is bleeding underneath the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva contains many small, fragile blood vessels that are easily ruptured or broken. When this happens, blood leaks into the space between ...
