Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ICD-10 code for other specified disorders of binocular movement?
The ICD-10-CM code for other specified disorders of binocular movement is H51.8. The full clinical description is "Other specified disorders of binocular movement". H51.8 is a billable/specific code that can be used on insurance claims and medical billing.
What does ICD-10 code H51.8 mean?
ICD-10-CM code H51.8 represents “Other specified disorders of binocular movement”. It is classified under Chapter 7: Diseases of the Eye and Adnexa and is a billable/specific code that can be used on a claim.
Is H51.8 a billable code?
Yes, H51.8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code and can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a medical claim.

H51.8 is in Chapter 7: Diseases of the Eye and Adnexa (codes H00-H59).
What SNOMED CT codes does H51.8 map to?
H51.8 maps to 100 SNOMED CT concepts: 246695005, 715366004, 725408001, 1217230002, 13401001, and 95 more. SNOMED CT is a clinical terminology used in electronic health records.
What are the UMLS CUIs for H51.8?
H51.8 is linked to 1 UMLS Concept Unique Identifier: C0348568. The UMLS (Unified Medical Language System) integrates multiple biomedical vocabularies maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
How does H51.8 relate to ICF functioning codes?
ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) codes describe how conditions like other specified disorders of binocular movement affect a person's functioning: body functions, activities, participation, and environmental factors. AutoICD provides ICF Core Sets for 12+ conditions and can map clinical text to ICF categories automatically. Browse the ICF directory to explore functioning codes.
What is the ICD-11 equivalent of H51.8?
H51.8 maps to the ICD-11 code: 9C83.Z (Disorders of binocular movement, unspecified).
