About H50.652

H50.652 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for medial rectus muscle entrapment, left eye. It belongs to category H50 (other strabismus), block H49-H52 (disorders of ocular muscles, binocular movement, accommodation and refraction) 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 H50.65 (medial rectus muscle entrapment), H50.652 is specifically for medial rectus muscle entrapment, left eye. Related codes cover right eye (H50.651) and unspecified eye (H50.659).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 124 (Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, relative weight 1.2471) and DRG 125 (Other Disorders of the Eye without MCC, relative weight 0.7702), in MDC 02 (Diseases and Disorders of the Eye), 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 was added in FY2024, effective October 1, 2023.
