Which Macular Degeneration ICD codes are Billable:
Macular Degeneration, a common eye condition affecting the macula in the retina, can be classified using specific ICD-10 codes. Below are commonly used Macular Degeneration ICD Codes:
H35.31
Nonexudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Dry AMD): This code is used when documenting nonexudative or dry age-related macular degeneration. It represents the more common form of the condition, characterized by drusen and macular thinning.
H35.32
Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD): This code is applied when the condition is exudative or wet. It signifies the presence of abnormal blood vessel growth under the macula, often leading to sudden vision loss.
H35.33
Angioid Streaks of Macula: Angioid streaks, which are cracks in the Bruch's membrane, can be associated with macular degeneration. This code is used to denote this condition.
H35.34
Macular Degeneration (Other): When the preceding codes do not cover the type of macular degeneration, this code describes other forms or variations of the condition.
H35.35
Macular Pucker: Macular pucker, also known as epiretinal membrane, is a condition that can distort central vision. This code is used when documenting macular puckering.
H35.36
Macular Cyst: This code is assigned in cases where macular cysts are present. Macular cysts can impact central vision and require specific diagnostic and treatment approaches.
