This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Deterioration of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retina) and the gel-like substance filling the eye (vitreous) that has developed as a result of another eye condition or disease, but the specific eye affected is not documented.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when the eye affected (right, left, or bilateral) is not specified in the medical record
- •Query the provider if possible to determine laterality for more specific coding
