Visual hallucinations

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

What This Code Means

A person experiences seeing things that are not actually present, such as images, shapes, or figures that only they can perceive.

Coding Tips

  • •Document whether hallucinations are related to a specific condition (psychiatric, neurological, or substance-induced) for more specific coding if applicable
  • •Distinguish from illusions (misinterpretation of real stimuli) which would be coded differently
