H44.713

Billable

Retained (nonmagnetic) (old) foreign body in anterior chamber, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

Non-metal objects that have been stuck in the front chamber of both eyes for a long time.

Coding Tips

  • •Bilateral anterior chamber involvement is relatively uncommon; verify documentation supports bilateral foreign bodies
  • •Consider the mechanism of injury and whether both eyes were exposed to the same traumatic event
