Y77.1Therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents

Y77.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents. It belongs to category Y77 (ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents), block Y70-Y82 (medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Y77 (ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents), Y77.1 is specifically for therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents. Related codes cover diagnostic and monitoring ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents (Y77.0), prosthetic and other implants, materials and accessory ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents (Y77.2), surgical instruments, materials and ophthalmic devices (including sutures) associated with adverse incidents (Y77.3) and miscellaneous ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents, not elsewhere classified (Y77.8).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Y77.11 (incidents) and Y77.19 (incidents).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2021 (expanded into subcodes).
