Degenerative myopia with macular hole, right eye

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 in the right eye that has caused a hole to develop in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision.

Coding Tips

  • •This code indicates both degenerative myopia and macular hole as a complication; do not code macular hole separately
  • •Document whether surgical repair (vitrectomy) was performed, as this affects procedure coding
