H44.2B3

Billable

Degenerative myopia with macular hole, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

A condition where severe nearsightedness causes a hole to develop in the macula (the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision) in both eyes.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies bilateral involvement; if only one eye is affected, use H44.2B1 or H44.2B2 instead
  • •This code indicates both the degenerative myopia and the macular hole complication, so do not code them separately
