H44.2B2
BillableDegenerative myopia with macular hole, left 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 left eye that has caused a hole to develop in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision.
Coding Tips
- •Confirm that the macular hole is a consequence of the degenerative myopia rather than a separate condition
- •This is a more specific code than H44.22 and should be used when macular hole is present
