H15.003

Billable

Unspecified scleritis, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

Inflammation of the sclera (the white outer layer of the eye) affecting both eyes, but the specific type or severity has not been specified.

Coding Tips

  • •Bilateral scleritis may indicate systemic disease; review for associated conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or vasculitis
  • •When bilateral involvement is documented, use the bilateral code rather than coding each eye separately
