About H47.522

H47.522 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for disorders of visual pathways in (due to) neoplasm, left side. 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within H47.52 (disorders of visual pathways in (due to) neoplasm), H47.522 is specifically for disorders of visual pathways in (due to) neoplasm, left side. Related codes cover right side (H47.521) and unspecified side (H47.529).

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 091 (Other Disorders of Nervous System with MCC, relative weight 1.7046), DRG 092 (Other Disorders of Nervous System with CC, relative weight 1.0239) and DRG 093 (Other Disorders of Nervous System without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7783), in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous System), 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 377.61 (disorders of other visual pathways associated with neoplasms).
