About H40.211

H40.211 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acute angle-closure glaucoma, right eye. It belongs to category H40 (glaucoma), block H40-H42 (glaucoma) 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 H40.21 (acute angle-closure glaucoma), H40.211 is specifically for acute angle-closure glaucoma, right eye. Related codes cover left eye (H40.212), bilateral (H40.213) and unspecified eye (H40.219).

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 365.22 (acute angle-closure glaucoma).
