About coding enophthalmos

The ICD-10-CM code for enophthalmos is H05.40 (Unspecified enophthalmos). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on H05.40.

Within H05.4, choose H05.40 (Unspecified enophthalmos) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: due to atrophy of orbital tissue (H05.41) and due to trauma or surgery (H05.42).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H05.401 (right eye), H05.402 (left eye), H05.403 (bilateral) and H05.409 (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.
