Chronic enlargement of bilateral lacrimal glands

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

What This Code Means

A chronic condition where both tear glands (lacrimal glands) are persistently enlarged, which may affect tear production and eye comfort.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies 'bilateral' involvement to distinguish from unilateral cases
  • •Confirm the enlargement is chronic rather than acute to ensure correct code selection
