About ICD-9-CM 360.21
360.21 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for progressive high (degenerative) myopia. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 24 ICD-10-CM codes, such as H44.20 (Degenerative myopia, unspecified eye), H44.21 (Degenerative myopia, right eye) and H44.22 (Degenerative myopia, left eye). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
