What This Code Means
D72.111 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for lymphocytic variant hypereosinophilic syndrome [lhes]. A variant of hypereosinophilic syndrome where abnormal T lymphocytes are the primary driver of elevated eosinophil levels. D72.111 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism (d50-d89), within the section covering other disorders of blood and blood-forming organs (d70-d77).
D72.111 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.
LHES requires documentation of T-cell clonality or abnormality; verify flow cytometry or genetic testing results are documented.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for D72.111 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •LHES requires documentation of T-cell clonality or abnormality; verify flow cytometry or genetic testing results are documented.
- •This is more specific than the unspecified HES code and should be used when lymphocytic involvement is confirmed.
Code Also
- , if applicable, any associated lymphocytic neoplastic disorder
