H18.613
BillableKeratoconus, stable, bilateral
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A condition where the cornea (clear front of the eye) becomes cone-shaped in both eyes, and the condition is not currently progressing or worsening in either eye.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when keratoconus affects both eyes and documentation confirms stable status in both
- •If only one eye is stable and the other is unstable, consider whether separate codes for each eye are more appropriate
