H01.002
BillableUnspecified blepharitis right lower eyelid
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This code describes inflammation of the eyelid on the right lower eyelid, but the specific type or cause of the inflammation has not been identified or documented. The condition causes redness, irritation, and discomfort of the eyelid margin.
Coding Tips
- •If the type of blepharitis is documented (such as seborrheic, staphylococcal, or meibomian), use a more specific code rather than 'unspecified'
- •Verify laterality is correct - this code is specifically for the right lower eyelid; use different codes for left eye or upper eyelid involvement
