What This Code Means

H40.052 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for ocular hypertension, left eye. Elevated eye pressure in the left eye without the structural damage characteristic of glaucoma. H40.052 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering glaucoma (h40-h42).

H40.052 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Document baseline intraocular pressure measurements to support the diagnosis.

Coding Tips

  • Document baseline intraocular pressure measurements to support the diagnosis
  • Ensure no optic nerve damage is present; if present, code as glaucoma instead
