What This Code Means
H02.882 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for meibomian gland dysfunction right lower eyelid. This condition involves problems with the oil-producing glands (Meibomian glands) in the right lower eyelid, which can cause dry eyes, irritation, and discomfort. These glands normally help keep the eye moist by secreting oils into the tear film. H02.882 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of eyelid, lacrimal system and orbit (h00-h05).
H02.882 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
Verify laterality is documented as right lower eyelid; if bilateral or affecting other eyelids, use different codes (H02.881 for right upper, H02.883 for left upper, H02.884 for left lower).
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H02.882 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Verify laterality is documented as right lower eyelid; if bilateral or affecting other eyelids, use different codes (H02.881 for right upper, H02.883 for left upper, H02.884 for left lower)
- •This code is typically used for chronic conditions; ensure documentation supports the diagnosis and distinguish from acute blepharitis or other eyelid conditions
