What This Code Means

H05.129 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for orbital myositis, unspecified orbit. Inflammation of the eye socket muscles when the affected eye is not specified. H05.129 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).

H05.129 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.

This is a default code; query provider for laterality documentation to assign a more specific code.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H05.129 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
