H27Other disorders of lens

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

H27 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other disorders of lens. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • congenital lens malformations (Q12.-)
  • mechanical complications of intraocular lens implant (T85.2)
  • pseudophakia (Z96.1)

Other codes that can never be billed with H27

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at H27. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading H27 alone.

  • Z98.4Cataract extraction status

Risk adjustment

H27 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead H27

4 child codes. Green means billable.
