What This Code Means
H15.832 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for staphyloma posticum, left eye. A staphyloma posticum is a bulging or outpouching of the back of the eye (posterior segment), typically caused by high myopia (severe nearsightedness) or other conditions that weaken the eye wall. This code specifically indicates this condition is present in the left eye. H15.832 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of sclera, cornea, iris and ciliary body (h15-h22).
H15.832 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
Verify laterality is documented in the medical record before assigning this code; staphyloma posticum requires specification of which eye is affected (left, right, or bilateral).
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H15.832 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Verify laterality is documented in the medical record before assigning this code; staphyloma posticum requires specification of which eye is affected (left, right, or bilateral)
- •Investigate whether this condition is secondary to high myopia or another underlying cause, as this may warrant additional coding for the primary condition
