H17.03 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for adherent leukoma, bilateral. This condition involves scar tissue on the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) that is stuck to the inner structures of the eye, affecting both eyes. This adhesion can cause vision problems and eye discomfort. H17.03 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).

H17.03 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 that the condition is documented as bilateral (affecting both eyes) before assigning this code; if only one eye is affected, use H17.01 or H17.02 instead.
