ICD-10 Code for Myopia

Also indexed as (axial) (congenital)

The ICD-10-CM code for myopia is H52.1 — Myopia. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for myopia with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).

Not billable

H52.1 cannot be submitted on a claim. It is a header code, so a more specific code from the list below is required.

Which myopia code should you use?

The Alphabetic Index lists 11 codes under Myopia. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
