Clinical Overview of Normal Visual Field (ICD-11 QA00.61)

The ICD-11 code QA00.61 represents a Normal Visual Field. This designation indicates that a person's visual field, the full scope of vision in one eye while the eye is fixed in one position, is within normal limits. It signifies the absence of any defects or impairments in the peripheral or central vision during an examination. This code is part of the broader category for general examinations or investigations without a reported diagnosis.

Synonyms and Alternative Terms for Normal Visual Field

Common clinical synonyms and alternative terms for Normal Visual Field include:
  • No Impairment of Visual Field
  • Normal visual field examination

Diagnosing a Normal Visual Field

A normal visual field is typically confirmed through a visual field test, also known as perimetry. This diagnostic procedure maps the extent of a patient's vision, identifying any blind spots or areas of reduced sensitivity. When the results of this test show no abnormalities, the finding is documented as a normal visual field.

Documentation and Coding for ICD-11 QA00.61

The ICD-11 code QA00.61 is used for accurate medical record documentation and billing when a patient undergoes an examination of their eyes or vision, and the results indicate a normal visual field. This code falls under the block QA00 General examination or investigation of persons without complaint or reported diagnosis, specifically within the examination of eyes or vision. It is essential for reporting the outcome of such examinations, especially when no specific disease or condition is identified.

Billability of ICD-11 Code QA00.61

ICD-11 code QA00.61 is reportable and can be considered billable when it accurately reflects the outcome of a medically necessary examination of the visual field. It is often used in the context of routine eye check-ups, pre-operative assessments, or when investigating symptoms that ultimately prove to be unrelated to visual field defects. Its use signifies that a specific diagnostic test was performed and yielded normal results.

When to Seek Medical Advice for Vision Concerns

While a normal visual field indicates no current impairment, individuals should seek medical advice for any persistent or new vision concerns. This includes sudden changes in vision, flashes of light, floaters, eye pain, or any other symptoms that cause distress or affect daily activities. Regular eye examinations are recommended, and any changes in visual perception should be promptly discussed with a healthcare professional.
