H53.34
BillableSuppression of binocular vision
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A condition where the brain suppresses or ignores the visual input from one eye, typically to avoid double vision or conflicting images, even though both eyes are functioning.
Coding Tips
- •Document which eye is being suppressed if known, as this may guide treatment
- •Distinguish from amblyopia (lazy eye), which involves reduced vision rather than active suppression
