H20.22
BillableLens-induced iridocyclitis, left eye
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This is inflammation of the iris and ciliary body (the colored part of the eye and the muscle that controls focus) in the left eye that is caused by a problem with the eye's lens, such as a leaking or displaced lens. This condition typically develops after eye surgery or trauma involving the lens.
Coding Tips
- •Verify documentation specifies the left eye (H20.22) versus right eye (H20.21) or bilateral (H20.23) to ensure accurate laterality coding
- •Confirm the underlying lens pathology (such as lens particle glaucoma, phacoanaphylaxis, or lens-particle glaucoma) is documented, as this may require additional coding for the primary lens condition
