BillableOther chorioretinal scars, bilateral
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Scarring or permanent damage to the tissue layer beneath the retina in both eyes from causes other than solar exposure, such as inflammation, infection, or previous eye disease.
Coding Tips
- •Confirm bilateral involvement is documented before using this code; do not assume bilateral if only one eye is mentioned
- •Consider if the bilateral scars share a common etiology or represent separate events
