ICD-9: 452. Short Description: Portal vein thrombosis. Long Description: Portal vein thrombosis. This is the 2014 version of the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 452. Code Classification. Diseases of the circulatory system (390–459) Diseases of veins and lymphatics, and other diseases of circulatory system (451-459) 452 Portal vein thrombosis.
Tributary (branch) retinal vein occlusion, right eye, with macular edema. 2017 - New Code 2018 2019 Billable/Specific Code. H34.8310 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Trib rtnl vein occlusion, right eye, with macular edema.
67228: Treatment of extensive or progressive retinopathy (eg, diabetic retinopathy), photocoagulation. Coding for retinal laser procedures also requires consideration of the diagnosis. Although the same laser may be used in the clinic, multiple CPT codes may be considered, and the correct one is determined based on the reason for treatment.
Coding for retinal laser procedures begins with identifying the diagnosis. Correct Coding: 67220-RT. Use modifier -58 if the laser was preplanned and documented preoperatively. If it was not, the -78 modifier would be correct. PPV is a common procedure performed during retina surgery.
Retinal vein occlusion happens when a blood clot blocks the vein. Sometimes it happens because the veins of the eye are too narrow. It is more likely to occur in people with diabetes, and possibly high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, or other health problems that affect blood flow.
Unspecified retinal vascular occlusion H34. 9 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 H34. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Short description: Retinal detachment NOS. ICD-9-CM 361.9 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 361.9 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
When one of the vessels that carry blood to your eye's retina gets blocked, it can cause you to lose your eyesight. This problem often happens suddenly and without any pain. This is called a central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO).
Retinal neovascularization is defined as a state where new pathologic vessels originate from the existing retinal veins and extend along the inner surface of the retina.
Central retinal artery occlusion, bilateral H34. 13 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 H34. 13 became effective on October 1, 2021.
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] Macula-off or macula-involving RRD refers to cases in which the liquefied vitreous has already entered the subfoveal space resulting in potentially permanent damage to the patient's visual acuity via photoreceptor cell death and retinal anoxia [Figure 1].
Unspecified retinal detachment with retinal break, unspecified eye. H33. 009 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 H33.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H27. 00: Aphakia, unspecified eye.
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a form of acute ischemic stroke that causes severe visual loss and is a harbinger of further cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events.
Retinal hemorrhaging often occurs as a result of car accidents, sports accidents, falls from high locations, trip or slip and fall accidents, violent attacks, and similar traumatic events.
Medical therapy and follow up. Retinal artery occlusion is an eye emergency. Patients should be referred to the nearest stroke center for further immediate management.
Branch retinal artery occlusion describes decreased arterial blood flow to the retina leading to ischemic damage. The severity of visual loss depends upon the area of retinal tissue affected by the vascular occlusion.
Definition. Occlusion of the central retinal vein (CRVO); hemiretinal occlusion (HRVO) occurs when the superior and inferior retinal drainage does not merge into a central retinal vein (20%) and is occluded (more like CRVO than BRVO).
Central retinal vein occlusion, bilateral, with macular edema. H34. 8130 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Macular edema is the build-up of fluid in the macula, an area in the center of the retina. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye and the macula is the part of the retina responsible for sharp, straight-ahead vision. Fluid buildup causes the macula to swell and thicken, which distorts vision.
362.35 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of central retinal vein occlusion. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
The following crosswalk between ICD-9 to ICD-10 is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:

The retina is a layer of tissue in the back of your eye that senses light and sends images to your brain. In the center of this nerve tissue is the macula. It provides the sharp, central vision needed for reading, driving and seeing fine detail.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
452 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of portal vein thrombosis. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.

Normally, if you get hurt, your body forms a blood clot to stop the bleeding. Some people get too many clots or their blood clots abnormally. Many conditions can cause the blood to clot too much or prevent blood clots from dissolving properly.

A pneumatic retinopexy is performed by injecting a gas bubble into the vitreous. Typically, an anterior chamber tap is performed during the surgical session. Laser or cryotherapy may be performed during the session, but these are more commonly done postoperatively.
PPV is a common procedure performed during retina surgery. To choose the correct CPT code for PPV, start by determining the reason for surgery. If the PPV is performed to repair an RD, consider the following codes:
Although the same laser may be used in the clinic, multiple CPT codes may be considered, and the correct one is determined based on the reason for treatment.
As a paracentesis of the anterior chamber was performed, submitting the code 65800 in addition to 67025 is correct; there is no National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) bundle. NCCI edits override separate procedure language for Medicare and other payers that follow Medicare’s rules.
