H43.8 — Other disorders of vitreous body
Is H43.8 billable?
No — H43.8 is a non-billable header code. H43.8 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 9 billable codes beneath H43.8.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with H43.8 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- proliferative vitreo-retinopathy with retinal detachment (H33.4-)
Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of H43.8, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, H43.8 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- vitreous abscess (H44.02-)
