H10.532
BillableContact blepharoconjunctivitis, left eye
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This is an inflammation of the eyelid and the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye (conjunctiva) on the left eye, caused by contact with an irritating substance or allergen. It results in redness, swelling, and discomfort of the affected eye.
Coding Tips
- •Verify laterality is documented as left eye in the medical record before assigning this code; if bilateral, code both eyes separately with appropriate laterality indicators
- •Ensure the documentation specifies contact blepharoconjunctivitis rather than other types of conjunctivitis (allergic, infectious, viral) to avoid incorrect code selection
