Deficient saccadic eye movements

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

What This Code Means

A condition where the eyes have difficulty making quick, precise movements to shift gaze from one point to another, affecting the ability to track objects smoothly.

Coding Tips

  • •Document whether this affects one or both eyes and any associated neurological conditions
  • •Distinguish from smooth pursuit deficiency (H55.82) which involves continuous tracking rather than rapid shifts
