Stenosis of left lacrimal sac

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

What This Code Means

A narrowing or blockage of the lacrimal sac (tear drainage structure) on the left side of the face, which can cause excessive tearing and eye discomfort.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify laterality is documented as left; if bilateral or unspecified, use H04.573 or H04.579 instead
  • •Determine if stenosis is acquired or congenital, as this may affect clinical management and documentation
