H31.01Macula scars of posterior pole (postinflammatory) (post-traumatic)

H31.01 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for macula scars of posterior pole (postinflammatory) (post-traumatic). It belongs to category H31 (other disorders of choroid), block H30-H36 (disorders of choroid and retina) and chapter 7 (diseases of the eye and adnexa). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H31.0 (chorioretinal scars), H31.01 is specifically for macula scars of posterior pole (postinflammatory) (post-traumatic). Related codes cover unspecified chorioretinal scars (H31.00), solar retinopathy (H31.02) and other chorioretinal scars (H31.09).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H31.011 (right eye), H31.012 (left eye), H31.013 (bilateral) and H31.019 (unspecified eye).

Don't report H31.01 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: postprocedural choriorentinal scar (H59.81-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
