Code Classification

  • Diseases of the eye and adnexa
    (H00–H59)
    • Disorders of choroid and retina
      (H30-H36)
      • Retinal vascular occlusions
        (H34)

H34.8192 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of central retinal vein occlusion, unspecified eye, stable. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like H34.8192 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Approximate Synonyms

The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:

  • Central retinal vein occlusion
  • Central retinal vein occlusion
  • Central retinal vein occlusion - ischemic
  • Central retinal vein occlusion - juvenile
  • Central retinal vein occlusion - non-ischemic
  • Combined occlusion by thrombus of retinal artery and retinal vein
  • Hemispheric retinal vein occlusion
  • Incipient occlusion of retinal vein
  • Ischemic maculopathy
  • Macular ischemia due to central retinal vein occlusion
  • Neovascularization of angle

  • Partial occlusion of retinal vein
  • Retinal artery occlusion
  • Retinal vein occlusion
  • Rubeosis iridis
  • Thrombosis of retinal artery

  • Vitreous hemorrhage due to central retinal vein occlusion

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Retinal Vein Occlusion

    blockage of the retinal vein. those at high risk for this condition include patients with hypertension; diabetes mellitus; atherosclerosis; and other cardiovascular diseases.

  • Retinal Artery Occlusion

    sudden ischemia in the retina due to blocked blood flow through the central retinal artery or its branches leading to sudden complete or partial loss of vision, respectively, in the eye.

  • Central Retinal Vein Occlusion|Central Retinal Venous Occlusion|Central Retinal Venous Occlusion

    blockage of the central retinal vein.

    an occlusion of the retinal vein.

  • Central Retinal Artery Occlusion, Bilateral|Central retinal artery occlusion, bilateral

    evidence of central retinal artery occlusion that is bilateral.

  • Central Retinal Artery Occlusion, Left Eye|Central retinal artery occlusion, left eye

    evidence of central retinal artery occlusion in the left eye.

  • Central Retinal Artery Occlusion, Right Eye|Central retinal artery occlusion, right eye

    evidence of central retinal artery occlusion in the right eye.

  • Central Retinal Artery Occlusion|Central Retinal Arterial Occlusion|Central retinal artery occlusion, unspecified eye

    blockage of the central retinal artery.

  • Partial Retinal Arterial Occlusion|Partial retinal artery occlusion, unspecified eye

    a partial occlusion of the retinal artery.

  • Partial Retinal Artery Occlusion, Bilateral|Partial retinal artery occlusion, bilateral

    evidence of partial retinal artery occlusion that is bilateral.

  • Partial Retinal Artery Occlusion, Left Eye|Partial retinal artery occlusion, left eye

    an occlusion of the retinal artery.

  • Transient Retinal Arterial Occlusion|Transient retinal artery occlusion, unspecified eye

    a partial, temporary occlusion of the retinal artery.

  • Transient Retinal Artery Occlusion, Bilateral|Transient retinal artery occlusion, bilateral

    evidence of transient retinal artery occlusion that is bilateral.

Code Edits

The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10-CM Code Edits are applicable to this code:

  • Unspecified codes - Unspecified codes exist in the ICD-10-CM classification for circumstances when documentation in the medical record does not provide the level of detail needed to support reporting a more specific code. However, in the inpatient setting, there should generally be very limited and rare circumstances for which the laterality (right, left, bilateral) of a condition is unable to be documented and reported. The following pages contain the list of unspecified ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes for which there is a more specific code to identify laterality (right, left, bilateral) within that code family.

Replacement Code

H348192 replaces the following previously assigned ICD-10-CM code(s):

  • H34.819 - Central retinal vein occlusion, unspecified eye

Convert H34.8192 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 362.35 - Cent retinal vein occlus
    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Patient Education


Retinal Disorders

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.

Retinal disorders affect this vital tissue. They can affect your vision, and some can be serious enough to cause blindness. Examples are:

  • Macular degeneration - a disease that destroys your sharp, central vision
  • Diabetic eye disease
  • Retinal detachment - a medical emergency, when the retina is pulled away from the back of the eye
  • Retinoblastoma - cancer of the retina. It is most common in young children.
  • Macular pucker - scar tissue on the macula
  • Macular hole - a small break in the macula that usually happens to people over 60
  • Floaters - cobwebs or specks in your field of vision

Footnotes

[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:

  • The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
  • The condition places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions.
