H01.023
BillableSquamous blepharitis right eye, unspecified eyelid
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This condition involves inflammation and scaling of the eyelid skin on the right eye, caused by a buildup of dead skin cells and bacteria along the eyelid margin. It causes redness, irritation, and flaking of the eyelid.
Coding Tips
- •Verify laterality is documented as right eye; if both eyes are affected, you need separate codes for each eye (H01.021 for right, H01.022 for left)
- •The 'unspecified eyelid' component means the documentation does not specify upper or lower lid; if the provider specifies upper (H01.011) or lower (H01.012), use the more specific code instead
