H40.1124 vs P15.3
H40.1124 (Primary open-angle glaucoma, left eye, indeterminate stage) compared with P15.3 (Birth injury to eye), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. H40.1124 carries an Excludes1 note covering P15.3: “traumatic glaucoma due to birth injury (P15.3)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
