Retinal detachment with single break, left eye

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

What This Code Means

The retina has separated from the back of the left eye due to a single tear or break in the retinal tissue.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify laterality is documented as left eye in the clinical record
  • •This code is specific to single breaks; multiple breaks require a different code
