Billable

Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis is a chronic eye inflammation that causes color changes in the iris, affecting both eyes.

Coding Tips

  • •Bilateral designation requires documentation confirming involvement of both eyes; do not assume bilateral without explicit confirmation
  • •When bilateral, consider whether separate codes for each eye or this bilateral code is more appropriate based on your facility's coding guidelines
