H30.143 ICD-10-CM Code: Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy, bilateral

H30.143 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy, bilateral. This is an eye condition where multiple small, flat spots of inflammation appear in the back layer of both eyes, causing sudden vision problems and sensitivity to light. It typically affects young, healthy adults and usually improves on its own over several weeks to months. H30.143 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of choroid and retina (h30-h36).

H30.143 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Verify that the condition is documented as bilateral (affecting both eyes) before assigning this code; if only one eye is affected, use the unilateral code H30.141 instead.
