H33.119
BillableCyst of ora serrata, unspecified eye
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A fluid-filled sac that develops on the ora serrata, which is the junction between the retina and the ciliary body in the eye. This condition affects an unspecified eye and may cause vision problems or eye discomfort depending on the cyst's size and location.
Coding Tips
- •Use the 7th character to specify laterality: 1 for right eye, 2 for left eye, or 3 for bilateral when applicable; this code requires a 7th character for complete coding
- •Distinguish between cysts of ora serrata (H33.11-) and other retinal cysts or detachments to ensure accurate code selection
