Posterior scleritis, left eye

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

What This Code Means

Posterior scleritis is inflammation of the back part of the white of the eye (sclera) on the left side. This condition can cause eye pain, vision problems, and swelling in the tissues behind the eye.

Coding Tips

  • •Ensure laterality is documented in the medical record as 'left eye' to support the fifth character '2' in this code
  • •Verify whether this is initial episode or recurrent/chronic presentation, as this may affect documentation and treatment planning; confirm if both eyes are affected as separate codes would be needed for bilateral cases
