Unspecified adhesions of iris, right eye

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

What This Code Means

Abnormal scar tissue or adhesions connecting the iris (colored part of the eye) to surrounding structures in the right eye. This can restrict eye movement and affect vision.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation confirms right eye involvement
  • •If the specific type of adhesion is documented (anterior or posterior synechiae), use the more specific codes H21.51x or H21.52x
