D31.61
BillableBenign neoplasm of unspecified site of right orbit
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A non-cancerous tumor or growth in the right eye socket (orbit) that has not been identified to a specific location within the orbit. This is a benign condition meaning it is not cancer and typically does not spread to other parts of the body.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when the specific site within the right orbit cannot be determined; if the exact location is documented (such as lacrimal gland, extraocular muscle, or optic nerve), use a more specific D31.6x code
- •Verify documentation specifies 'right' orbit; use D31.62 for left orbit or D31.63 for bilateral involvement
