Primary iridocyclitis, left eye

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

What This Code Means

The iris and ciliary body of the left eye are inflamed due to a primary cause (not secondary to another condition), developing suddenly or over a short period.

Coding Tips

  • •Primary iridocyclitis means the inflammation is not caused by another eye disease; document any associated systemic conditions like sarcoidosis or ankylosing spondylitis
  • •Distinguish between primary and secondary iridocyclitis carefully, as secondary cases require coding the underlying cause
