What This Code Means

H10.239 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for serous conjunctivitis, except viral, unspecified eye. Inflammation of the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye with watery discharge, not caused by a virus, but the specific eye affected is not documented. H10.239 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of conjunctiva (h10-h11).

H10.239 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.

Use this code only when laterality (which eye) is not specified in the medical record.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H10.239 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Use this code only when laterality (which eye) is not specified in the medical record
  • Query the provider if possible to determine unilateral vs. bilateral involvement for more specific coding
