- Palisade degeneration of retina
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above H35.41
These are not written on H35.41, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing H35.41 with anything listed here is a denial.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above H35.41
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of H35.41, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Risk adjustment
H35.41 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Code history
H35.41 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
