ICD-10 Code H50.14 – Monocular exotropia with other noncomitancies (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H50.14 – Monocular exotropia with other noncomitancies
What it is
H50.14 identifies a monocular exotropia, meaning one eye turns outward. The deviation is noncomitant, so the amount of misalignment changes with gaze direction.
Clinical signs
Look for outward deviation of one eye with variable alignment in different positions of gaze. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents monocular exotropia and notes other noncomitant features, such as a gaze-dependent change in the angle of deviation. It also fits when the record clearly distinguishes this from comitant exotropia. Check documentation if laterality or type is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for comitant exotropia, alternating exotropia, or unspecified strabismus. If the note does not confirm noncomitancy, check documentation before assigning H50.14.
Coding tip
Code only when the chart supports both monocular exotropia and noncomitant behavior; otherwise choose a more specific or unspecified strabismus code.
