I coded H27.01, but that was wrong, I know the guidelines say you have to use an E code, if applicable to identify the reason for the absence. Is there an unspecified E code that I don't see.....Any help is appreciated.:)
 
it might help to know morw of the scenario. if this is something that occurred a while ago then perhaps a Z code however if it is due to trauma then you have the correct code but you need the trauma code for how the lens was damaged with a 7th character of S and you need and external cause code with a 7th character of S. NOT an E code, those are endocrine codes.. do not mix your code sets.
