What This Code Means
H10.439 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for chronic follicular conjunctivitis, unspecified eye. A chronic eye condition where the inner lining of the eyelid develops small follicles or nodules, but the specific eye affected is not documented. H10.439 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).
H10.439 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 is not specified; query provider for clarification when possible.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H10.439 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 is not specified; query provider for clarification when possible
