H47.41 ICD-10-CM Code: Disorders of optic chiasm in (due to) inflammatory disorders

H47.41 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for disorders of optic chiasm in (due to) inflammatory disorders. This code describes damage or dysfunction of the optic chiasm (the part of the optic nerve where nerve fibers cross in the brain) that is caused by an inflammatory condition. The inflammation affects how the optic chiasm functions, potentially impacting vision. H47.41 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of optic nerve and visual pathways (h46-h47).

H47.41 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.

Always code the underlying inflammatory disorder first (such as sarcoidosis, multiple sclerosis, or other inflammatory conditions), then use H47.41 as a secondary code to indicate the optic chiasm involvement.
