Billable

Degeneration of ciliary body, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

Deterioration or damage to the ciliary body (the muscle that controls eye focus) in both eyes.

Coding Tips

  • •Bilateral ciliary body degeneration suggests a systemic or progressive condition; investigate underlying causes
  • •The fifth character '3' specifies bilateral involvement, so no additional laterality codes are needed
