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

What This Code Means

H04.811 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for granuloma of right lacrimal passage. A benign inflammatory nodule or mass in the tear drainage system on the right side, often resulting from chronic inflammation or infection. H04.811 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).

H04.811 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 right-sided location is documented; use H04.812 or H04.813 for left or bilateral.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H04.811 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Verify right-sided location is documented; use H04.812 or H04.813 for left or bilateral
  • Distinguish granuloma from other masses; confirm diagnosis is granuloma and not neoplasm
