ICD-10 Code H47.3 – Other disorders of optic disc (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H47.3 – Other disorders of optic disc
What it is
H47.3 identifies disorders of the optic disc that do not fit a more specific diagnosis. Use it when documentation describes an optic disc abnormality, but the exact condition is not otherwise classified.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include optic disc changes noted on eye examination, such as abnormal appearance, swelling, or pallor, depending on the underlying disorder.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents an unspecified or other optic disc disorder and no more specific code applies. It is appropriate for charted optic disc abnormalities that are not better described by another ICD-10-CM option. Check documentation if the exact diagnosis is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use H47.3 when the record supports a more specific optic nerve or optic disc diagnosis. If the condition is better classified elsewhere, code that diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Query the provider for the exact optic disc diagnosis before defaulting to H47.3.
