D31.20
BillableBenign neoplasm of unspecified retina
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A non-cancerous growth on the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye), but the specific eye is not documented.
Coding Tips
- •Always query for laterality as retinal lesions require specification of which eye is affected
- •Distinguish between retinal nevi, hemangiomas, and other benign retinal lesions
