Unspecified iridocyclitis

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

What This Code Means

Iridocyclitis is inflammation of the iris and ciliary body of the eye, but the specific type or cause is not identified.

Coding Tips

•This is a non-specific code; review documentation to determine if a more specific iridocyclitis code (H20.0-H20.8) can be assigned
•If the specific type of iridocyclitis is documented (acute, chronic, Fuchs', Vogt-Koyanagi, etc.), use the more specific code instead
