Other mucopurulent conjunctivitis, right eye

This code signifies an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the membrane lining the eyelids and covering the white part of the eye) characterized by a discharge containing both mucus and pus, specifically affecting the right eye. This condition is typically infectious in nature, often bacterial, and presents with redness, irritation, and a sticky discharge.

Assign this code when documentation clearly indicates mucopurulent conjunctivitis in the right eye, and the specific causative organism is not identified or is not the primary focus of the encounter. This is appropriate for cases where the provider diagnoses "other mucopurulent conjunctivitis" or similar non-specific terms for the right eye.

• Ensure laterality is explicitly documented as "right eye" to support this specific code.
• Do not use this code if a more specific type of conjunctivitis (e.g., gonococcal, chlamydial, viral) is diagnosed.
• Consider an additional code for the causative organism (e.g., B95-B97) if identified and documented.
