What This Code Means
H44.392 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other degenerative disorders of globe, left eye. A degenerative disorder of the eyeball affecting the left eye that does not fit into other specific categories, such as phthisis bulbi or other globe degeneration. H44.392 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).
H44.392 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
This code is used for degenerative globe disorders not classified as chalcosis or siderosis; document the specific type of degeneration in the medical record.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H44.392 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
