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

What This Code Means

Complete separation of the retina from the back of the eye where the specific eye is not documented. This is a serious condition that can lead to vision loss if not treated promptly.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when the affected eye is not specified; if documentation indicates right or left eye, use more specific codes H33.051 or H33.052
  • •Total retinal detachment is typically an acute condition requiring urgent ophthalmologic intervention
