H52.512

Billable

Internal ophthalmoplegia (complete) (total), left eye

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

What This Code Means

Complete paralysis of the internal eye muscles (those controlling pupil and lens focus) in the left eye, affecting the eye's ability to adjust focus and respond to light.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies 'complete' or 'total' paralysis to distinguish from partial ophthalmoplegia
  • •Confirm laterality is documented as left eye; if bilateral, use H52.513 instead
