H52-H54Primary Range

Disorders of refraction and accommodation; visual disturbances and blindness

This range includes codes for high myopia, color vision deficiency, and blindness, which are manifestations of Bornholm Eye Disease.

Problems related to care provider dependency

This range includes codes for bed confinement status, which may be relevant for patients with severe visual impairment due to Bornholm Eye Disease.

Code Comparison: When to Use Each Code

Compare key differences between these codes to ensure accurate selection

CodeDescriptionWhen to UseKey Documentation
H52.13High myopia, bilateralUse when high myopia is confirmed with genetic testing indicating X-linked inheritance.
  • Cycloplegic refraction showing ≤-6.00D
  • Axial length >26mm
  • Genetic confirmation of OPN1LW/OPN1MW mutation
H53.5Color vision deficienciesUse when specific color vision deficiencies are documented.
  • Farnsworth D-15 test results
  • Ishihara plate errors ≥12/14
Z74.01Bed confinement statusUse as a secondary code when bed confinement is related to severe visual impairment.
  • Documentation of bed confinement due to visual impairment

Clinical Decision Support

Always review the patient's clinical documentation thoroughly. When in doubt, choose the more specific code and ensure documentation supports it.

Key Information: ICD-10 code for Bornholm Eye Disease

Essential facts and insights about Bornholm Eye Disease

Bornholm Eye Disease is coded using H52.13 for high myopia and H53.5 for color vision deficiencies, with Z74.01 for bed confinement status if applicable.

Decision Criteria

clinical Criteria

  • Presence of high myopia with genetic confirmation

Applicable To

  • Severe myopia
  • X-linked congenital high myopia

Excludes

Clinical Validation Requirements

  • Cycloplegic refraction showing ≤-6.00D
  • Axial length >26mm
  • Genetic confirmation of OPN1LW/OPN1MW mutation

Code-Specific Risks

  • Incorrect use without genetic confirmation
  • Failure to document axial length

Coding Notes

  • Ensure documentation specifies 'X-linked congenital high myopia' and includes genetic test results.

Ancillary Codes

Additional codes that should be used in conjunction with the main diagnosis codes when applicable.

Bed confinement status

Z74.01
Use as a secondary code when bed confinement is due to severe visual impairment.

Differential Codes

Alternative codes to consider when ruling out similar conditions to the primary diagnosis.

Myopia, unspecified

H52.10
Use H52.10 when specific details about the severity or genetic basis are not documented.

Unspecified color vision deficiencies

H53.50
Use H53.50 when specific type of color vision deficiency is not documented.

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common documentation and coding issues when documenting Bornholm Eye Disease to ensure proper reimbursement, maintain compliance, and reduce audit risk. These guidelines are particularly important when using ICD-10 code H52.13.

Impact

Clinical: May lead to misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment., Regulatory: Increases risk of audit and non-compliance., Financial: Potential for reduced reimbursement due to lack of specificity.

Mitigation Strategy

Ensure genetic testing is performed and results are documented., Train staff on the importance of genetic documentation.

Impact

Reimbursement: May lead to reduced reimbursement due to lack of specificity., Compliance: Increases risk of audit and non-compliance., Data Quality: Reduces data quality and accuracy in patient records.

Mitigation Strategy

Ensure documentation includes specific genetic and clinical details to use specific codes.

Impact

Using unspecified codes when specific genetic and clinical details are available.

Mitigation Strategy

Ensure documentation includes all available genetic and clinical details to support specific coding.

Documentation errors, coding pitfalls, and audit risks are interconnected aspects of medical coding and billing. Addressing all three areas helps ensure accurate coding, optimal reimbursement, and regulatory compliance.

Documenting Bornholm Eye Disease with bedbound status

Specialty: Ophthalmology

Required Elements

  • Genetic confirmation
  • Visual acuity measurements
  • Color vision test results
  • Functional status

Example Documentation

**Diagnosis**: Bornholm Eye Disease (X-linked) - BCVA: 20/400 OD, 20/400 OS - Refraction: -12.00 -1.50x180 OD, -11.75 -1.25x170 OS - ERG: Non-recordable photopic responses, normal scotopic - Genetic testing: OPN1LW c.532T>C (p.Cys178Arg) confirmed - Functional status: Requires assistance for all ADLs due to blindness

Examples: Poor vs. Good Documentation

Poor Documentation Example
Patient has poor vision.
Good Documentation Example
BCVA 20/400 OU with -10.00D myopia, deuteranopia on Farnsworth test, ERG-confirmed cone dysfunction.
Explanation
The good example provides specific measurements and test results, supporting accurate coding.
