What This Code Means

H44.511 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for absolute glaucoma, right eye. Complete loss of vision and function in the right eye, typically resulting from severe glaucoma or trauma. H44.511 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).

H44.511 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.

Absolute glaucoma represents end-stage glaucoma with permanent vision loss and a non-functional eye.
