H11.423
BillableConjunctival edema, bilateral
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Swelling of the clear membrane covering the white part of both eyes, causing puffiness or fluid accumulation on both eye surfaces.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when edema is documented in both eyes; do not use if only one eye is affected
- •Bilateral presentation may suggest systemic or allergic etiology rather than localized infection
