H04.119
BillableDacryops of unspecified lacrimal gland
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A dacryops is a fluid-filled sac or cyst that forms in the lacrimal gland (tear gland), which is located near the eye. This code is used when the specific lacrimal gland affected is not documented.
Coding Tips
- •If the documentation specifies which lacrimal gland is affected (right or left), use the more specific codes H04.111 (right) or H04.112 (left) instead of the unspecified code H04.119
- •Dacryops is typically a benign condition; ensure the diagnosis is clearly documented as dacryops and not confused with other lacrimal gland conditions like dacryocystitis or dacryoadenitis
