Primary iridocyclitis, unspecified 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 are inflamed due to a primary cause (not secondary to another condition), developing suddenly or over a short period, but the affected eye is not specified.

Coding Tips

  • •Use only when laterality cannot be determined from documentation; query the provider if eye side is not documented
  • •This code should be avoided when possible; specify right, left, or bilateral in the medical record
