H11.143
BillableConjunctival xerosis, unspecified, bilateral
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Dryness of the clear membrane covering the white part of both eyes, with unspecified severity or cause.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when documentation explicitly states bilateral involvement; do not assume both eyes are affected
- •Consider if this is part of a systemic dry eye syndrome (Sjögren's) that may warrant additional coding
