The ICD-10-CM code for Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency (LSCD) falls under disorders of the cornea.

✅ Correct ICD-10 Codes for Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency

Primary ICD-10-CM category:
H18.89 – Other specified disorders of cornea

Laterality-specific codes:

• H18.891 – Limbal stem cell deficiency, right eye

• H18.892 – Limbal stem cell deficiency, left eye

• H18.893 – Limbal stem cell deficiency, bilateral

• H18.899 – Limbal stem cell deficiency, unspecified eye

📌 Coding Notes

• ICD-10 does not have a unique standalone code labeled “limbal stem cell deficiency.”

• LSCD is classified under other specified corneal disorders.

• Always document laterality clearly to select the most accurate code.

• Use H18.899 only when laterality is not documented.
