About coding vision double
The ICD-10-CM code for vision double is H53.2 (Diplopia).
Within H53 (visual disturbances), H53.2 is specifically for Diplopia. Related codes cover amblyopia ex anopsia (H53.0), subjective visual disturbances (H53.1), other and unspecified disorders of binocular vision (H53.3), visual field defects (H53.4), color vision deficiencies (H53.5), night blindness (H53.6), vision sensitivity deficiencies (H53.7), other visual disturbances (H53.8) and 1 more.
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 123 (Neurological Eye Disorders, relative weight 0.822), 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.
