Hypertensive retinopathy, bilateral H35. 033 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H35. 033 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Diabetic retinopathy is caused by high blood sugar. Hypertensive retinopathy is caused by high blood pressure. Both conditions are diagnosed by an eye doctor. Treatment options may include surgery, laser treatments, or eye injections.

H25. 13 Age-related nuclear cataract, bilateral - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
The treatment for hypertensive retinopathy is primarily focused upon reducing blood pressure. It is important to work together with the patient's primary care doctor to ensure timely evaluation and management to reduce ocular and systemic damage.
Essential (primary) hypertension: I10 That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension. As in ICD-9, this code includes “high blood pressure” but does not include elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension (that would be ICD-10 code R03. 0).
Hypertensive retinopathy is an eyesight disorder that occurs as a result of high blood pressure. High blood pressure, also called hypertension, occurs when the force of blood against the artery walls is too high, causing the arteries to stretch, narrow and become damaged over time.
While the presence of retinopathy may not be evident at first, over time it can worsen and lead to loss of vision. Retinopathy can accompany either hypertension or diabetes (either type 1 or type 2).
While cross sectional data suggest that hypertension is associated with diabetic retinopathy, longitudinal data have been inconsistent. The UKPDS showed that the incidence of retinopathy was associated with systolic blood pressure.

ICD-Code I10 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Essential (Primary) Hypertension.
Pulmonary Hypertension – Coded using category I27. While coding secondary pulmonary hypertension any associated conditions or adverse effect of drugs or toxins is also coded.
Hypertension, transient– The code used is R03.0 ( Elevated blood pressure reading without diagnosis of hypertension). In case of transient hypertension in pregnancy, the codes used are from categories O13 and O14.
Systolic hypertension – Refers to the elevated systolic blood pressure. Gestational hypertension – High blood pressure in pregnancy. Hypertensive crisis- A severe increase in blood pressure that can lead to stroke. Hypertensive urgencies. Hypertensive emergencies.
Hypertensive cerebrovascular disease- Applicable code from I60-I69 is assigned first, trailed by the appropriate hypertension code.
Secondary hypertension – Accounts for 5% of people with hypertension. Caused due to an underlying disease such as renal disorders such as chronic pyelonephritis, diabetic nephropathy etc.. and Vascular disorders such as coarctation of the aorta.
White-coat hypertension – High blood pressure that occurs at the doctor’s office or in a medical setting, but not otherwise is called White-coat hypertension. Generalized anxiety is one of the causes of white-coat hypertension.
Hypertension, Uncontrolled – It denotes to untreated hypertension/hypertension not responding to present therapeutic regimen. Appropriate code from categories I10-I15 is assigned.
Finding the ICD-10 codes for diabetic retinopathy can be tricky. They are not listed in Chapter 7, Diseases of the Eye and Adnexa (H00-H59), but are in the diabetes section (E08-E13) of Chapter 4, Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases.
These include drug- or chemical-induced diabetes mellitus (E09.-); gestational diabetes (Q24.4-); neonatal diabetes mellitus (P70.2); and postpancreatectomy, postprocedural, or secondary diabetes mellitus (E13.-).
