H44.2A3

Billable

Degenerative myopia with choroidal neovascularization, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

A severe form of progressive nearsightedness affecting both eyes where abnormal blood vessel growth occurs under the retinas, potentially causing vision loss in both eyes.

Coding Tips

  • •Ensure bilateral choroidal neovascularization is documented before assigning this code
  • •Do not use this code if CNV is present in only one eye; use the appropriate unilateral code instead
