H11.222
BillableConjunctival granuloma, left eye
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A conjunctival granuloma is a small, raised bump or nodule that forms on the conjunctiva (the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye) in the left eye. This condition typically develops as a reaction to chronic irritation, infection, or inflammation.
Coding Tips
- •Verify laterality is documented as left eye (H11.222) versus right eye (H11.221) or bilateral (H11.223) to ensure accurate code selection
- •Investigate and document the underlying cause of the granuloma when possible, as this may affect treatment decisions and help identify if additional codes are needed
