H35.419Lattice degeneration of retina, unspecified eye

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CMunspecified

H35.419 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for lattice degeneration of retina, unspecified eye. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above H35.419

These are not written on H35.419, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing H35.419 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on H35.4 Peripheral retinal degeneration

  • hereditary retinal degeneration (dystrophy) (H35.5-)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above H35.419

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of H35.419, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on H35.4 Peripheral retinal degeneration

  • peripheral retinal degeneration with retinal break (H33.3-)

Written on H35 Other retinal disorders

Risk adjustment

H35.419 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.

Medicare coverage

H35.419 is named in 1 Medicare coverage policy 1 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
