H35.3131 ICD-10-CM Code: Nonexudative age-related macular degeneration, bilateral, early dry stage

H35.3131 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nonexudative age-related macular degeneration, bilateral, early dry stage. H35.3131 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of choroid and retina (h30-h36).

H35.3131 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.

H35.3131 is a billable ICD-10-CM code that can be reported on claims but does not currently contribute to a Medicare Advantage member's RAF score under any CMS risk adjustment model (V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC). Coders reviewing H35.3131 should check whether additional documentation would support a more specific child code in the same hierarchy that does map to a payment HCC, capturing the correct specificity is the highest-impact RAF improvement available within accurate coding.
