Pinguecula, left eye

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

What This Code Means

A small, yellowish growth on the clear membrane of the left eye, typically caused by sun exposure and located near the inner corner.

Coding Tips

  • •Distinguish pinguecula from pterygium; pinguecula does not grow across the cornea while pterygium does
  • •Verify left eye laterality is documented in the clinical record
