H05.53

Billable

Retained (old) foreign body following penetrating wound of bilateral orbits

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

What This Code Means

Foreign objects remain in both eye sockets following penetrating wounds.

Coding Tips

  • •Use only when documentation clearly indicates bilateral retained foreign bodies
  • •Do not use if only one orbit is affected; use H05.51 or H05.52 instead
