H31.102
BillableChoroidal degeneration, unspecified, left eye
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Progressive thinning or deterioration of the choroid (the blood vessel layer beneath the retina) in the left eye without a specified underlying cause.
Coding Tips
- •Confirm left eye involvement in the clinical documentation to ensure accurate laterality coding
- •If the degeneration is secondary to another condition (such as high myopia), consider whether a more specific code applies
