About coding dacryoadenitis
The ICD-10-CM code for dacryoadenitis is H04.00 (Unspecified dacryoadenitis). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on H04.00.
Within H04.0, choose H04.00 (Unspecified dacryoadenitis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: acute dacryoadenitis (H04.01), chronic dacryoadenitis (H04.02) and chronic enlargement of lacrimal gland (H04.03).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H04.001 (right lacrimal gland), H04.002 (left lacrimal gland), H04.003 (bilateral lacrimal glands) and H04.009 (unspecified lacrimal gland).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
