H16.422

Billable

Pannus (corneal), left eye

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

What This Code Means

A fibrous tissue growth on the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) in the left eye, often resulting from chronic inflammation or irritation.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm left eye laterality is explicitly documented in the medical record
  • •Consider if this is part of a bilateral condition that should be coded separately for each eye
