Chalazion left eye, unspecified eyelid

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

What This Code Means

A small, firm bump on the eyelid of the left eye caused by a blocked oil gland, with the specific eyelid location not specified.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies left eye; if laterality is unclear, use H00.19 instead
  • •If the specific eyelid (upper/lower) is documented, use a more specific code like H00.12 or H00.14
