Central pterygium of eye, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

Coding Tips

•Use this code only when documentation explicitly confirms bilateral involvement
•Do not use this code if only one eye is affected; assign the appropriate unilateral code instead
