Hyphema, unspecified eye

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

What This Code Means

Hyphema is bleeding inside the eye (anterior chamber), but the specific eye affected is not documented.

Coding Tips

  • •Hyphema can result from trauma or spontaneous bleeding; review documentation for the underlying cause to assign appropriate additional codes
  • •Attempt to determine laterality from the medical record; if documented, assign H21.01, H21.02, or H21.03 instead of this unspecified code
