What This Code Means
H44.2D2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for degenerative myopia with foveoschisis, left eye. A condition where severe nearsightedness causes a splitting or separation of layers in the fovea (the center of the macula) in the left eye. H44.2D2 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of vitreous body and globe (h43-h44).
H44.2D2 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.
Foveoschisis is a specific structural complication of degenerative myopia; ensure it is documented in the record.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for H44.2D2 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
