Billable

Retained (nonmagnetic) (old) foreign body in iris or ciliary body, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

A nonmagnetic foreign object that has been retained in the iris or ciliary body of both eyes for an extended period.

Coding Tips

  • •Only assign this code when documentation clearly indicates bilateral involvement in both the iris and/or ciliary body
  • •This is a rare presentation; verify bilateral status is explicitly documented before coding
