H43.0Vitreous prolapse

H43.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for vitreous prolapse. It belongs to category H43 (disorders of vitreous body), 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H43 (disorders of vitreous body), H43.0 is specifically for vitreous prolapse. Related codes cover vitreous hemorrhage (H43.1), crystalline deposits in vitreous body (H43.2), other vitreous opacities (H43.3), other disorders of vitreous body (H43.8) and unspecified disorder of vitreous body (H43.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H43.00 (unspecified eye), H43.01 (right eye), H43.02 (left eye) and H43.03 (bilateral).

Don't report H43.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: vitreous syndrome following cataract surgery (H59.0-) and traumatic vitreous prolapse (S05.2-).

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