Disorders of orbit

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 8 more specific codes instead:

  • H05.0 Acute inflammation of orbit (also a header)
  • H05.1 Chronic inflammatory disorders of orbit (also a header)
  • H05.2 Exophthalmic conditions (also a header)
  • H05.3 Deformity of orbit (also a header)
  • H05.4 Enophthalmos (also a header)
  • H05.5 Retained (old) foreign body following penetrating wound of orbit (also a header)
  • H05.8 Other disorders of orbit (also a header)
  • H05.9 Unspecified disorder of orbit

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

  1. FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Disorders of orbit
