HCPCS Code M1223: Primary Open‑Angle Glaucoma Plan of Care Documented

HCPCS code M1223 is used to indicate that a plan of care has been documented for a patient diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). This code helps support quality reporting and care coordination by confirming that appropriate treatment and monitoring strategies have been established during the performance period.

The ICD-10 code H40.11X0 represents primary open-angle glaucoma, unspecified eye, stage unspecified. It’s used when the diagnosis of POAG is confirmed, but the specific eye or stage has not been documented. However, it is a deleted code.

Primary open-angle glaucoma is a chronic, progressive eye disease characterized by increased intraocular pressure that gradually damages the optic nerve. It typically develops without symptoms and is the most common form of glaucoma. Early detection through regular eye exams and proper care planning is key to preventing vision loss.
