Vitreoretinal dystrophy

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

What This Code Means

A hereditary condition causing progressive degeneration of both the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retina) and the gel-like substance filling the eye (vitreous).

Coding Tips

  • •This code indicates involvement of both retinal and vitreous structures; ensure documentation supports this combined involvement
  • •Differentiate from other retinal dystrophies that may affect only the retina or only the retinal pigment epithelium
