Pulsating exophthalmos, unspecified eye

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

What This Code Means

A condition where the eye rhythmically protrudes and retracts in synchronization with the heartbeat or blood vessel pulsations, but the specific eye is not documented.

Coding Tips

  • •Use only when laterality is truly unspecified in documentation
  • •Query provider for laterality to assign more specific code (H05.261 or H05.262)
