ICD-10 code for lens disease

The ICD-10-CM code for lens disease is H27.9 (Unspecified disorder of lens). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on H27.9.

Within H27, choose H27.9 (Unspecified disorder of lens) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: aphakia (H27.0), dislocation of lens (H27.1) and other specified disorders of lens (H27.8).

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.
