Abscess of eyelid unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid

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

What This Code Means

An eyelid abscess when neither the eye (right or left) nor the specific eyelid location (upper or lower) is specified in the documentation.

Coding Tips

  • •This is the least specific code; use only when laterality and eyelid location cannot be determined from the record
  • •Query the provider to obtain more specific anatomical information when possible
