Retinal detachment with multiple breaks, right 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 right eye due to multiple tears or breaks in the retinal tissue.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm documentation specifies 'multiple breaks' rather than a single break
  • •Multiple breaks typically indicate more complex retinal detachment requiring specific surgical planning
