Chronic dacryocystitis of left lacrimal passage

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

What This Code Means

A long-standing infection and inflammation of the tear drainage sac (lacrimal sac) on the left side that persists over time, often causing recurrent symptoms.

Coding Tips

  • •Chronic presentation suggests underlying obstruction or structural abnormality; review for any associated conditions
  • •Verify left eye involvement is documented; chronic conditions may require ongoing management and follow-up coding
