To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the four child codes of H21.0 that describes the diagnosis 'hyphema' in more detail. Hyphema (or hyphaema, see spelling differences) is blood in the front (anterior) chamber of the eye.
Hyphema of iris and ciliary body - ICD-9 CM Diagnosis Code: 364.41, ICD-10 CM Diagnosis Code: H21.0 Accumulation of red blood cells within the anterior chamber is referred to as a hyphema. A small amount of blood that is only evident under close microscopic examination is referred to as a microhyphema.
The shearing forces from the injury can tear these vessels and result in the accumulation of red blood cells within the anterior chamber. Hyphemas can also be iatrogenic in nature. Intraoperative or postoperative hyphema is a well known complication to any ocular surgery.
Total hyphema. Grade 0: No visible layering, but red blood cells within the anterior chamber (microhyphema) Grade I: Layered blood occupying less than one third of the anterior chamber. Grade II: Blood filling one third to one half of the anterior chamber. Grade III: Layered blood filling one half to less than total of the anterior chamber.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hyphema, right eye H21. 01.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hyphema, left eye H21. 02.
Unspecified injury of unspecified eye and orbit, initial encounter. S05. 90XA 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 S05.
S05. 91XA - Unspecified injury of right eye and orbit [initial encounter] S05. 91XA - Unspecified injury of right eye and orbit [initial encounter] is a topic covered in the ICD-10-CM.
Hyphema is the medical term for bleeding inside your eye. Specifically, hyphema causes blood to pool behind your cornea (the outermost layer of your eye) and your iris (the colored part of your eye). It's usually caused by something hitting your eye. Sports injuries are the most common cause of hyphema.
Traumatic hyphema, or blood in the anterior chamber, is a common complication of blunt or penetrating injury to the eye and can result in permanent vision loss. The goals of initial assessment include recognition and characterization of the hyphema and identification of associated orbital and ocular injuries.

Causes of black eye This is what causes the discoloration or bruising. Most black eyes aren't serious, but they can sometimes be an indicator of a medical emergency such as a skull fracture. Black eye is also referred to as eye bruises and bruising around the eyes.
ICD-10-CM Code for Spontaneous ecchymoses R23. 3.
S06.0X0A0X0A for Concussion without loss of consciousness, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Although 304 ICD-10 codes contain the word glaucoma, only one exists for glaucoma suspect (H40. 0).
Listen to pronunciation. (SKLAYR-uh) The white layer of the eye that covers most of the outside of the eyeball.
Hyphema (or hyphaema, see spelling differences) is blood in the front (anterior) chamber of the eye . It may appear as a reddish tinge, or it may appear as a small pool of blood at the bottom of the iris or in the cornea.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code H21.0 is a non-billable code.
Typically patients will complain of associated blurry vision and ocular distortion. In the setting of trauma or secondary intraocular pressure elevation, patients may complain of pain, headahce, and photophobia.
The examination for a hyphema should consist of a routine ophthalmic work-up (visual acuity, pupillary examination, intraocular pressure, slit-lamp examination) as well as a gonioscopy to evaluate the condition of the angle and trabecular meshwork.
Only 13.5% of Grade I to II hyphemas had an IOP increase, but 27% of those with Grade III hyphemas has an IOP increase.
Medical treatment for an isolated hyphema typically is topical. Topical corticosteroids (systemic for severe cases) may reduce associated inflammation, although the effect on the risk for rebleeding is debatable. Topical cycloplegic agents are also useful for patients with significant ciliary spasm or photophobia.
ACA is a derivative and analog of the amino acid lysine, and competitively inhibits plasmin, an important protein enzyme involved in fibrinolysis.
Blunt trauma is the most common cause of a hyphema. Compressive force to the globe can result in injury to the iris, ciliary body, trabecular meshwork, and their associated vasculature. The shearing forces from the injury can tear these vessels and result in the accumulation of red blood cells within the anterior chamber.
Typically, this neovascularization is a direct result of posterior segment ischemia. Retinal microvascular disease in diabetic patients is by far the most common etiology.
Hyphema (or hyphaema, see spelling differences) is blood in the front (anterior) chamber of the eye. It may appear as a reddish tinge, or it may appear as a small pool of blood at the bottom of the iris or in the cornea.
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 H21.00 and a single ICD9 code, 364.41 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
