What is the ICD-10 code for glaucoma in the right eye?

The ICD-10 code for primary open-angle glaucoma in the right eye varies by stage: mild (H40.1111), moderate (H40.1112), and severe (H40.1113).

How do you document glaucoma in the right eye?

Document glaucoma in the right eye by specifying the stage, IOP, visual field results, and RNFL measurements to ensure accurate coding.

Code	Description	When to Use	Key Documentation
H40.1111	Primary open-angle glaucoma, right eye, mild stage	Use when the patient has mild primary open-angle glaucoma in the right eye with documented IOP and visual field loss.	IOP 21-25 mmHg MD -2 to -6 dB on visual field RNFL thickness 80-95 μm
H40.1112	Primary open-angle glaucoma, right eye, moderate stage	Use when the patient has moderate primary open-angle glaucoma in the right eye with documented IOP and visual field loss.	IOP 26-30 mmHg MD -6 to -12 dB on visual field RNFL thickness 70-79 μm
H40.1113	Primary open-angle glaucoma, right eye, severe stage	Use when the patient has severe primary open-angle glaucoma in the right eye with documented IOP and visual field loss.	IOP >30 mmHg MD ≤-12 dB on visual field RNFL thickness <70 μm

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common issues when documenting Glaucoma Right Eye.

Failing to document laterality

Impact

Clinical: May lead to incorrect treatment decisions., Regulatory: Non-compliance with ICD-10 coding standards., Financial: Potential for claim denials.

Mitigation

Always specify 'right eye' in documentation., Use templates that prompt for laterality.

Using unspecified codes when staging is documented

Impact

Reimbursement: May lead to reduced reimbursement rates., Compliance: Non-compliance with coding guidelines., Data Quality: Impacts the accuracy of clinical data.

Mitigation

Always use specific codes that reflect the documented stage of glaucoma.

Unspecified glaucoma codes

Impact

High error rates in audits due to unspecified codes when staging is documented.

Mitigation

Use specific codes that reflect the documented stage of glaucoma.
