About H40.14

H40.14 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation of lens. 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H40.1 (open-angle glaucoma), H40.14 is specifically for capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation of lens. Related codes cover unspecified open-angle glaucoma (H40.10), primary open-angle glaucoma (H40.11), Low-tension glaucoma (H40.12), pigmentary glaucoma (H40.13) and residual stage of open-angle glaucoma (H40.15).

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