About H20.013
H20.013 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for primary iridocyclitis, bilateral. It belongs to category H20 (iridocyclitis), block H15-H22 (disorders of sclera, cornea, iris and ciliary body) and chapter 7 (diseases of the eye and adnexa). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within H20.01 (primary iridocyclitis), H20.013 is specifically for primary iridocyclitis, bilateral. Related codes cover right eye (H20.011), left eye (H20.012) and unspecified eye (H20.019).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 124 (Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, relative weight 1.2471) and DRG 125 (Other Disorders of the Eye without MCC, relative weight 0.7702), in MDC 02 (Diseases and Disorders of the Eye), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 364.01 (primary iridocyclitis).
