CMSSource: CMS FY 2026 ICD-10-CM dataset · Effective Oct 1, 2025 – Sep 30, 2026

R94.112 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for abnormal visually evoked potential [VEP]. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026) and groups to MS-DRG 124 through 125. As a symptom code, it should not be used as a principal diagnosis once a related definitive diagnosis has been established.

Retinal Disorders

The retina is a layer of tissue in the back of your eye that senses light and sends images to your brain. In the center of this nerve tissue is the macula. It provides the sharp, central vision needed for reading, driving and seeing fine detail.

Questions About R94.112Overview

Is R94.112 (Abnormal results of function studies of eye) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report abnormal visually evoked potential [VEP] on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

What MS-DRG does R94.112 group to?

When abnormal visually evoked potential [VEP] is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 124, 125, with relative weights from 0.7678 to 1.3231 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Can R94.112 be a principal diagnosis?

Use it with care. This is a symptom code, so once a definitive diagnosis explaining the abnormal visually evoked potential [VEP] is established, that condition takes the principal position instead.

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of R94.112?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, abnormal visually evoked potential [VEP] converts to ICD-9-CM 794.13 (abnormal vep). The mapping is a direct match.

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.
