Cortical blindness, right side of brain

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

What This Code Means

Complete loss of vision caused by damage to the visual cortex (the part of the brain that processes vision) on the right side.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm the patient has cortical blindness (not other types of blindness) and that it is documented as right-sided
  • •Investigate and code the underlying cause (stroke, trauma, tumor, etc.) separately
