H44.313

Billable

Chalcosis, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

Chalcosis is a condition where copper deposits accumulate in both eyes, causing damage to the cornea, lens, and retina.

Coding Tips

  • •When chalcosis affects both eyes, use this bilateral code rather than coding each eye separately
  • •Document the exposure history and laterality to support medical necessity and appropriate coding
