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 10 more specific codes instead:

  • H18.0 Corneal pigmentations and deposits (also a header)
  • H18.1 Bullous keratopathy (also a header)
  • H18.2 Other and unspecified corneal edema (also a header)
  • H18.3 Changes of corneal membranes (also a header)
  • H18.4 Corneal degeneration (also a header)
  • H18.5 Hereditary corneal dystrophies (also a header)
  • H18.6 Keratoconus (also a header)
  • H18.7 Other and unspecified corneal deformities (also a header)
  • H18.8 Other specified disorders of cornea (also a header)
  • H18.9 Unspecified disorder of cornea

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.
