H35.3232Exudative age-related macular degeneration, bilateral, with inactive choroidal neovascularization

H35.3232 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Exudative age-related macular degeneration, bilateral, with inactive choroidal neovascularization. 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

The 7th character "2" means with inactive choroidal neovascularization.

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 124 (Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, relative weight 1.2471) and DRG 125 (Other Disorders of the Eye without MCC, relative weight 0.7702), 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.

The Medicare Code Editor expects this diagnosis only for patients age 15 through 124.

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 362.52 (Exudative senile macular degeneration).
