Unspecified peripheral retinal degeneration

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

What This Code Means

Deterioration of the outer edges of the retina that is not further specified or classified into a more specific type.

Coding Tips

  • •This is a non-specific code; review documentation to see if a more specific peripheral retinal degeneration code applies
  • •If the type of degeneration is identified (lattice, microcystoid, etc.), use the more specific code instead
