This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A collection of pus or localized infection in the tissues of the right upper eyelid, representing a more serious infection than a simple hordeolum.

Coding Tips

  • •Abscess codes indicate a more severe infection with purulent material; ensure this diagnosis is clearly documented
  • •Confirm right eye and upper eyelid location are specified; abscess may require drainage or more aggressive treatment
