What This Code Means
Y77.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for miscellaneous ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents, not elsewhere classified. An adverse event or injury caused by an ophthalmic device that does not fit into other specific categories. Y77.8 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for external causes of morbidity (v00-y99), within the section covering medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use (y70-y82).
Y77.8 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 as a catch-all for eye-related device adverse incidents not classified elsewhere.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for Y77.8 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
