Prsnl hx of congen malform of nervous sys and sense organs

This code indicates a patient's past medical history of a congenital malformation affecting the nervous system or sense organs that has since been corrected or resolved. It signifies that the condition is no longer active but remains relevant to the patient's overall health profile. This includes conditions like corrected congenital cataracts, strabismus, or other specified anomalies of the brain, spinal cord, or sensory organs.

Use this code when documenting a patient's history of a congenital nervous system or sense organ malformation that has been successfully treated, surgically repaired, or has otherwise resolved. This is appropriate for follow-up appointments, routine check-ups, or when the history of the corrected condition is pertinent to current care, even if it's not the primary reason for the encounter.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the congenital malformation has been corrected or is no longer active.
• Do not use this code for active or uncorrected congenital malformations; use the specific congenital anomaly code instead.
• Always sequence this as a secondary diagnosis, as it represents a historical condition rather than a current illness.
