H35.62
BillableRetinal hemorrhage, left eye
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Bleeding inside the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye) in the left eye only.
Coding Tips
- •Verify the laterality is specifically documented as left eye to distinguish from bilateral or right eye codes
- •Investigate the underlying cause (diabetes, hypertension, trauma) as this may require an additional code
