H53.483
BillableGeneralized contraction of visual field, bilateral
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A condition where the visual field becomes progressively narrower in both eyes, reducing the area of peripheral vision on both sides.
Coding Tips
- •Confirm documentation explicitly states bilateral involvement before coding this; unilateral cases require different codes
- •This code indicates the condition affects both eyes equally or separately documented in both eyes
