Billable

Iridodialysis, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

Separation of the iris root from the ciliary body affecting both eyes, potentially from bilateral trauma or surgical procedures.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm bilateral involvement is explicitly stated in documentation
  • •Investigate and document the cause if possible, as bilateral iridodialysis is less common
