What This Code Means
H00.031 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for abscess of right upper eyelid. A collection of pus or localized infection in the tissues of the right upper eyelid, representing a more serious infection than a simple hordeolum. H00.031 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of eyelid, lacrimal system and orbit (h00-h05).
H00.031 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.
Abscess codes indicate a more severe infection with purulent material; ensure this diagnosis is clearly documented.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for H00.031 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
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
