H44.2C3

Billable

Degenerative myopia with retinal detachment, 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 the retina to detach (separate from the back of the eye) in both eyes.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify bilateral involvement is documented; retinal detachment in both eyes is a serious condition requiring careful documentation
  • •Do not code retinal detachment separately as it is included in this degenerative myopia code
