About coding conjunctiva xerosis
The ICD-10-CM code for conjunctiva xerosis is H11.14 (Conjunctival xerosis, unspecified). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on H11.14.
Within H11.1, choose H11.14 (Conjunctival xerosis, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified conjunctival degenerations (H11.10), conjunctival deposits (H11.11), conjunctival concretions (H11.12), conjunctival pigmentations (H11.13) and Pinguecula (H11.15).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H11.141 (right eye), H11.142 (left eye), H11.143 (bilateral) and H11.149 (unspecified eye).
Don't report H11.14 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: xerosis of conjunctiva due to vitamin A deficiency (E50.0, E50.1).
