Mycotic corneal ulcer, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

A mycotic corneal ulcer affecting both eyes is a fungal infection of the cornea in both eyes, which is relatively uncommon and indicates systemic or significant local risk factors.

Coding Tips

  • •Bilateral mycotic ulcers are rare; document any systemic conditions or immunosuppression that may explain bilateral involvement
  • •Verify that both eyes are truly affected before assigning bilateral code; unilateral involvement should use appropriate single-eye codes
