Aphakia, unspecified eye

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

What This Code Means

Absence of the eye's lens (the clear part that focuses light) in an unspecified eye, usually due to surgical removal or congenital absence.

Coding Tips

•Use this code only when the specific eye is not documented; if laterality is known, use H27.01 or H27.02 instead
•Aphakia often requires corrective lenses or intraocular lens implant documentation for treatment planning
