About H25

H25 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for age-related cataract. It belongs to block H25-H28 (disorders of lens) and chapter 7 (diseases of the eye and adnexa). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H25.0 (cataract), H25.1 (cataract), H25.2 (morgagnian type), H25.8 (cataract) and H25.9 (cataract).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of H25, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation of lens (H40.1-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
