Decrease the gain to help differentiate between the two. Vitreous hemorrhage is usually less dense and will fade as the gain is decreased. It usually layers inferiorly with gravity. Ocular movements produce a rapid, staccato motion of the hemorrhage, unlike a retinal detachment that is stiffer and slower in movements.Dec 5, 2013

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H35.62 and a single ICD9 code, 362.81 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.

What is the tissue that sends images to the brain?

What is the GEM crosswalk?

The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code H35.62 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
