Lattice corneal dystrophy, right eye

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

What This Code Means

A hereditary corneal condition where a lattice-like pattern of deposits forms in the cornea of the right eye, causing vision problems and corneal scarring.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm 'lattice' type is documented to distinguish from granular or macular dystrophies
  • •Verify right eye laterality is documented; use H18.542 for left eye or H18.543 for bilateral
