Abscess of right lower eyelid

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

What This Code Means

A painful collection of pus (abscess) in the right lower eyelid, typically caused by a bacterial infection of the eyelid tissue.

Coding Tips

  • •Specify the laterality (right) and location (lower eyelid) as documented in the medical record
  • •Distinguish from chalazion (non-infected cyst) and other eyelid conditions; abscesses indicate active infection
