Retinal detachment with single break, unspecified 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 an eye due to a single tear or break, but the specific eye affected is not documented.

Coding Tips

  • •Query the provider to determine which eye is affected when documentation is unclear
  • •This code should be used minimally; laterality should be specified in most cases
