This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Collections of blood (bruises) in both eyes and surrounding tissues that develop after a non-eye surgical procedure.
Coding Tips
- •Confirm bilateral involvement is explicitly documented before coding
- •Ensure the procedure was non-ophthalmic; bilateral eye surgery complications use different codes
