Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to H11: its own notes plus those printed at Chapter 7. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

From Chapter 7 (H00-H59) Diseases of the eye and adnexa applies to 2,677 codes
  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)

Eye Diseases

Even if your eyes feel healthy, you could have a problem and not know it. That's why regular eye exams are so important. Refractive errors are the most common type of vision problem that makes it hard to see clearly. But some eye conditions or diseases don't have any symptoms and can lead to a permanent loss of vision.

  • Who is more likely to develop eye diseases?
  • What are the treatments for eye diseases?
  • Can eye diseases be prevented?

Questions About H11Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other disorders of conjunctiva?

H11 is the ICD-10-CM category for other disorders of conjunctiva, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is H11 (Other disorders of conjunctiva) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other disorders of conjunctiva, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other disorders of conjunctiva need a more specific code from this category, such as H11.001, H11.002, and H11.003.

Can H11 be reported with a code from H16.2?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on H11 lists "keratoconjunctivitis (H16.2-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
