H20.13

Billable

Chronic iridocyclitis, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

Long-term inflammation of the iris and ciliary body affecting both eyes, causing potential vision problems and eye discomfort in each eye.

Coding Tips

  • •Bilateral chronic iridocyclitis is reported with a single code; do not report separately for each eye
  • •Investigate and code the underlying systemic cause if present (e.g., ankylosing spondylitis, Behçet's disease)
