What This Code Means
H44.112 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for panuveitis, left eye. Panuveitis is inflammation affecting all layers of the uvea (the middle layer of the eye), occurring in the left eye. This is a serious eye condition that can affect vision and requires prompt medical attention. H44.112 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).
H44.112 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.
Verify laterality is documented as left eye in the medical record before assigning this code; if bilateral, code both eyes separately with appropriate laterality indicators.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H44.112 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Verify laterality is documented as left eye in the medical record before assigning this code; if bilateral, code both eyes separately with appropriate laterality indicators
- •Investigate and document the underlying cause of panuveitis (infectious, autoimmune, traumatic, etc.) as this may require additional diagnosis codes and affects treatment decisions
