Aphakia, left eye

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

What This Code Means

Aphakia of the left eye is a condition where the lens of the left eye is absent, either due to surgical removal (such as cataract surgery) or congenital absence. This results in loss of the eye's natural focusing ability and typically requires corrective lenses or other interventions to restore vision.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify whether aphakia is post-surgical (most common) or congenital, as this may affect documentation and related procedure coding
  • •Ensure you are coding the correct laterality (left eye = H27.02); do not confuse with right eye (H27.01) or bilateral (H27.03)
