Anterior synechiae (iris), left eye

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

What This Code Means

Scar tissue adhesion between the iris and the cornea (front of the eye) in the left eye. This restricts the iris from moving normally and can affect vision and eye pressure.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies anterior synechiae and left eye involvement
  • •Document the underlying cause (uveitis, trauma, surgery) if present for complete clinical picture
