Submit one of these 4 more specific codes instead:
- H44.701 Unspecified retained (old) intraocular foreign body, nonmagnetic, right eye
- H44.702 Unspecified retained (old) intraocular foreign body, nonmagnetic, left eye
- H44.703 Unspecified retained (old) intraocular foreign body, nonmagnetic, bilateral
- H44.709 Unspecified retained (old) intraocular foreign body, nonmagnetic, unspecified eye
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.
- FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Unspecified retained (old) intraocular foreign body, nonmagnetic
