H35.2Other non-diabetic proliferative retinopathy

H35.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other non-diabetic proliferative retinopathy. It belongs to category H35 (other retinal disorders), 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 H35, choose H35.2 (Other non-diabetic proliferative retinopathy) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: background retinopathy and retinal vascular changes (H35.0), retinopathy of prematurity (H35.1), degeneration of macula and posterior pole (H35.3), peripheral retinal degeneration (H35.4), hereditary retinal dystrophy (H35.5), retinal hemorrhage (H35.6), separation of retinal layers (H35.7), other specified retinal disorders (H35.8) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H35.20 (unspecified eye), H35.21 (right eye), H35.22 (left eye) and H35.23 (bilateral).

Don't report H35.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: proliferative vitreo-retinopathy with retinal detachment (H33.4-).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of H35.2, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: proliferative sickle-cell retinopathy (H36.82-).

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