Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Always verify laterality (right, left, or bilateral) in the documentation, as this code is specific to the right eye only; use H20.812 for left eye or H20.813 for bilateral cases
This is typically a chronic condition, so ensure documentation supports the chronic nature and check for any associated complications like cataracts or glaucoma that may require additional coding

What This Code Means

H20.811 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis, right eye. Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis is a chronic eye inflammation that typically affects one eye and often causes a change in eye color over time. This code specifically identifies the condition occurring in the right eye. H20.811 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of sclera, cornea, iris and ciliary body (h15-h22).

H20.811 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Always verify laterality (right, left, or bilateral) in the documentation, as this code is specific to the right eye only; use H20.812 for left eye or H20.813 for bilateral cases.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H20.811 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
