About H47.39

H47.39 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other disorders of optic disc. It belongs to category H47 (other disorders of optic [2nd] nerve and visual pathways), block H46-H47 (disorders of optic nerve and visual pathways) 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 H47.3, choose H47.39 (Other disorders of optic disc) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: coloboma of optic disc (H47.31), Drusen of optic disc (H47.32) and Pseudopapilledema of optic disc (H47.33).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H47.391 (right eye), H47.392 (left eye), H47.393 (bilateral) and H47.399 (unspecified eye).

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