H43.8Other disorders of vitreous body

H43.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other disorders of vitreous body. 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H43, choose H43.8 (Other disorders of vitreous body) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: vitreous prolapse (H43.0), vitreous hemorrhage (H43.1), crystalline deposits in vitreous body (H43.2), other vitreous opacities (H43.3) and unspecified disorder of vitreous body (H43.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H43.81 (degeneration), H43.82 (adhesion) and H43.89 (body).

Don't report H43.8 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: proliferative vitreo-retinopathy with retinal detachment (H33.4-).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of H43.8, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: vitreous abscess (H44.02-).

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