BillableThyroid orbitopathy, unspecified orbit
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means

Coding Tips
- •Query the provider for laterality information; this is a less specific code that should be avoided when possible
- •Always code the associated thyroid condition separately
