ICD-10 code for ocular motion disturbance

The ICD-10-CM code for ocular motion disturbance is H51.9 (Unspecified disorder of binocular movement). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on H51.9.

Within H51, choose H51.9 (Unspecified disorder of binocular movement) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: palsy (spasm) of conjugate gaze (H51.0), Convergence insufficiency and excess (H51.1), Internuclear ophthalmoplegia (H51.2) and other specified disorders of binocular movement (H51.8).

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.
