Disorders of optic nerve, not elsewhere classified

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 4 more specific codes instead:

H47.01 Ischemic optic neuropathy (also a header)
H47.02 Hemorrhage in optic nerve sheath (also a header)
H47.03 Optic nerve hypoplasia (also a header)
H47.09 Other disorders of optic nerve, not elsewhere classified (also a header)

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.
