H57.8 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of other specified disorders of eye and adnexa. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Other specified disorders of eye and adnexa

Non-specific codes like H57.8 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for other specified disorders of eye and adnexa:

  • H57.81 for Brow ptosis - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H57.811 for Brow ptosis, right - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H57.812 for Brow ptosis, left - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H57.813 for Brow ptosis, bilateral - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H57.819 for Brow ptosis, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H57.89 for Other specified disorders of eye and adnexa - BILLABLE CODE

  • H57.8A for Foreign body sensation eye (ocular) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H57.8A1 for Foreign body sensation, right eye - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H57.8A2 for Foreign body sensation, left eye - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H57.8A3 for Foreign body sensation, bilateral eyes - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H57.8A9 for Foreign body sensation, unspecified eye - BILLABLE CODE

Patient Education


Eye Diseases

Some eye problems are minor and don't last long. But some can lead to a permanent loss of vision.

Common eye problems include:

  • Refractive errors
  • Cataracts - clouded lenses
  • Optic nerve disorders, including glaucoma
  • Retinal disorders - problems with the nerve layer at the back of the eye
  • Macular degeneration - a disease that destroys sharp, central vision
  • Diabetic eye problems
  • Conjunctivitis - an infection also known as pink eye

Your best defense is to have regular checkups, because eye diseases do not always have symptoms. Early detection and treatment could prevent vision loss. See an eye care professional right away if you have a sudden change in vision, if everything looks dim, or if you see flashes of light. Other symptoms that need quick attention are pain, double vision, fluid coming from the eye, and inflammation.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
