What This Code Means
H43.822 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for vitreomacular adhesion, left eye. Abnormal adhesion or sticking between the vitreous gel and the macula (central part of the retina) in the left eye, which can affect vision. H43.822 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of vitreous body and globe (h43-h44).
H43.822 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
Distinguish between adhesion (H43.82) and traction (H43.83) based on clinical findings.
