Other intraretinal microvascular abnormalities

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

What This Code Means

Abnormal tiny blood vessel changes in the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye) that are not classified as other specific types.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code when microvascular abnormalities are documented but don't fit into more specific subcategories like branch retinal artery occlusion or retinal microaneurysms.
  • •Ensure documentation specifies which eye is affected; if bilateral, code both eyes separately or use the bilateral code if available.
