ICD-10 Code H50.141 – Monocular Exotropia with Other Noncomitancies, Right Eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H50.141 – Monocular exotropia with other noncomitancies, right eye
What it is
H50.141 identifies outward eye deviation affecting the right eye with noncomitant movement, meaning the misalignment changes with gaze direction. Use it when the record specifies monocular exotropia and the right eye.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include a right eye that turns outward and shows unequal deviation in different gaze positions. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality and the specific noncomitant pattern.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents monocular exotropia of the right eye with other noncomitancies. It applies when the chart distinguishes the condition from concomitant strabismus and clearly identifies the right eye.
If the note only says exotropia without laterality or noncomitancy details, check documentation before assigning H50.141. You should also verify whether a different strabismus code better matches the documented pattern.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified exotropia, alternating exotropia, or cases without right-eye laterality. Do not assign it when the documentation does not support noncomitant deviation.
Coding tip
Always confirm both the eye involved and the noncomitant nature of the deviation before coding H50.141.
