Mycotic corneal ulcer, right eye

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

What This Code Means

A mycotic corneal ulcer is an infection of the cornea caused by a fungus, occurring in the right eye and requiring antifungal treatment.

Coding Tips

  • •Mycotic ulcers are infectious; document the specific fungal organism if identified (e.g., Candida, Aspergillus) for complete coding
  • •Verify laterality carefully as mycotic ulcers can progress rapidly; distinguish between right (H16.061), left (H16.062), bilateral (H16.063), or unspecified (H16.069)
