Billable

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis, with limbar and corneal involvement, unspecified eye

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

What This Code Means

A chronic allergic inflammation of the eye with corneal and limbal involvement when it is unclear which eye or both eyes are affected.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when laterality (which eye) cannot be determined from the medical record
  • •If documentation specifies one eye, use the laterality-specific codes (H16.261 or H16.262) instead
