Squamous blepharitis left eye, upper and lower eyelids

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

What This Code Means

This condition involves inflammation of the eyelids on the left eye affecting both the upper and lower lids, characterized by flaky, scaly skin buildup along the eyelid margins. It's a common eye condition that causes irritation, redness, and discomfort.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify laterality is documented as left eye in the medical record before assigning the 'B' laterality indicator
  • •Confirm that both upper and lower eyelids are affected; if only one lid is involved, use code H01.021 (upper) or H01.022 (lower) instead
