H35.53
BillableOther dystrophies primarily involving the sensory retina
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A hereditary condition causing progressive degeneration of the light-sensitive cells and supporting structures of the retina, excluding conditions primarily affecting the pigment layer.
Coding Tips
- •This is a catch-all code for retinal dystrophies affecting the sensory retina that don't fit other specific categories
- •Ensure the condition is not primarily affecting the retinal pigment epithelium, which would require code H35.54
