Question 1

What is ICD-10 code H44.113?

Accepted Answer

H44.113 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for panuveitis, bilateral. Inflammation affecting all layers of the uvea (the middle layer of the eye) in both eyes. H44.113 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).

H44.113 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.

Bilateral panuveitis often suggests a systemic or autoimmune etiology; investigate and document the underlying cause.

Which codes cannot be reported with H44.113?

Accepted Answer

An Excludes1 condition is not reported together with H44.113; report one or the other, unless the two conditions are unrelated, which the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines (Section I.A.12.a) allow. The Excludes2 note lists certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96); certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99); complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A); congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99); and 8 more (see the notes on this page); those are separate conditions that may be reported together with H44.113 when both are documented.
