Billable

Degenerative myopia with foveoschisis, 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 splitting or separation of layers in the fovea (the center of the macula) in both eyes.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm bilateral foveoschisis is documented; this is a specific structural finding requiring clear documentation
  • •Do not code foveoschisis separately as it is included in this degenerative myopia code
