Which MS-DRGs does H05.022 group to?
H05.022 sits in MDC 02 and helps define the logic of 2 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.
- 121Acute Major Eye Infections with CC/MCCmedical
- 122Acute Major Eye Infections without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, H05.022 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
How is H05.022 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from H05
The conditions below can never be reported together with H05.022 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- congenital malformation of orbit (Q10.7)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 7
The conditions below are not part of H05.022, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, H05.022 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- diabetes mellitus related eye conditions (E09.3-, E10.3-, E11.3-, E13.3-)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
- injury (trauma) of eye and orbit (S05.-)
- injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
- syphilis related eye disorders (A50.01, A50.3-, A51.43, A52.71)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from H00-H05
The conditions below are not part of H05.022, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, H05.022 and the excluded code may both be reported.
How long has H05.022 existed?
H05.022 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
