H35.353
BillableCystoid macular degeneration, bilateral
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A condition where fluid-filled cysts form in the macula (the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision) affecting both eyes, causing vision problems.
Coding Tips
- •This code is specific to bilateral involvement; do not use if only one eye is affected
- •Verify documentation confirms cystoid macular degeneration rather than other macular conditions
