About coding vitreous humor injury
The ICD-10-CM code for vitreous humor injury is S05.90 (Unspecified injury of unspecified eye and orbit). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S05.90.
Within S05.9, choose S05.90 (unspecified eye and orbit) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: right eye and orbit (S05.91) and left eye and orbit (S05.92).
Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
