About H40.113

H40.113 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for primary open-angle glaucoma, bilateral. It belongs to category H40 (glaucoma), block H40-H42 (glaucoma) 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.

Within H40.11 (primary open-angle glaucoma), H40.113 is specifically for primary open-angle glaucoma, bilateral. Related codes cover right eye (H40.111), left eye (H40.112) and unspecified eye (H40.119).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: 0 for stage unspecified, 1 for mild stage, 2 for moderate stage, 3 for severe stage and 4 for indeterminate stage. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
