Billable

Unspecified chorioretinal scars, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

Scarring of the choroid and retina in both eyes from an unspecified cause, typically resulting from previous inflammation or injury.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm bilateral involvement is documented before assigning this code
  • •If the scarring is specifically post-inflammatory or post-traumatic, use H31.013 for bilateral macula scars instead
