About H43

H43 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for disorders of vitreous body. It belongs to block H43-H44 (disorders of vitreous body and globe) 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 6 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H43.0 (prolapse), H43.1 (hemorrhage), H43.2 (body), H43.3 (opacities), H43.8 (body) and H43.9 (body).

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