H40.62X1 vs P15.3
H40.62X1 (Glaucoma secondary to drugs, left eye, mild 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. H40.62X1 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).
