H47.333

Billable

Pseudopapilledema of optic disc, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

A condition where both optic discs appear swollen but are not actually inflamed. This is a benign finding that can mimic papilledema in both eyes.

Coding Tips

  • •Bilateral coding indicates the condition affects both eyes and should be used when documented as such
  • •Distinguish from unilateral presentations to ensure accurate coding
