H47.0 — Disorders of optic nerve, not elsewhere classified
Not billable
Is H47.0 billable?
No — H47.0 is a non-billable header code. H47.0 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 16 billable codes beneath H47.0.
