H57.819

Billable

Brow ptosis, unspecified

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

What This Code Means

Drooping of the eyebrow or the skin and tissue above the eye, where the specific cause or affected side is not specified. This condition can affect vision, appearance, or both.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation to determine if the ptosis is bilateral or unilateral; if laterality is specified, use H57.811 (right) or H57.812 (left) instead of the unspecified code
  • •Distinguish brow ptosis from eyelid ptosis (H02.4xx series); brow ptosis involves the eyebrow area while eyelid ptosis involves the upper eyelid itself
