H59.229 ICD-10-CM Code: Accidental puncture and laceration of unspecified eye and adnexa during other procedure

H59.229 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for accidental puncture and laceration of unspecified eye and adnexa during other procedure. An accidental cut or puncture wound to an eye or surrounding structures during a procedure, but the specific eye affected is not documented. H59.229 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of eye and adnexa, not elsewhere classified (h59).

H59.229 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Use this code only when laterality cannot be determined from documentation.
