Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis, unspecified eye

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, but the specific eye affected is not documented.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when laterality cannot be determined from the medical record; query the provider if possible for eye-specific documentation
  • •This is a less specific code; attempt to obtain laterality information to assign the more specific H20.811, H20.812, or H20.813
