Posterior synechiae (iris), right eye

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

What This Code Means

Adhesions between the iris and the lens in the right eye, which can restrict iris movement and affect vision.

Coding Tips

  • •Distinguish from anterior synechiae (iris-to-cornea adhesions) and goniosynechiae (iris-to-angle adhesions)
  • •Verify right eye laterality is documented in the clinical record
