About H34.8310

H34.8310 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for tributary (branch) retinal vein occlusion, right eye, with macular edema. It belongs to category H34 (retinal vascular occlusions), block H30-H36 (disorders of choroid and retina) and chapter 7 (diseases of the eye and adnexa). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

The 7th character "0" means with macular edema.

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 123 (Neurological Eye Disorders, relative weight 0.822), in MDC 02 (Diseases and Disorders of the Eye), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 362.36 (venous tributary (branch) occlusion).
