H15.033

Billable

Posterior 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 back layer of the white part of both eyes (posterior scleritis affecting both sides).

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation confirms bilateral involvement; if only one eye is affected, use H15.031 or H15.032 instead
  • •Posterior scleritis may be associated with systemic autoimmune conditions; review for additional diagnoses
