Displacement (lateral) of globe, right eye

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

What This Code Means

The eyeball in the right eye has shifted or moved outward (toward the side of the face) from its normal position in the eye socket. This displacement can occur due to swelling, inflammation, or other conditions affecting the tissues around the eye.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify laterality is documented as right eye (H05.211) versus left eye (H05.212) or bilateral (H05.213) to ensure accurate code selection
  • •Investigate the underlying cause of displacement (such as thyroid eye disease, orbital inflammation, or trauma) as this may require an additional diagnosis code
