About coding Angioid streaks
The ICD-10-CM code for Angioid streaks is H35.33 (Angioid streaks of macula).
Within H35.3 (degeneration of macula and posterior pole), H35.33 is specifically for Angioid streaks of macula. Related codes cover unspecified macular degeneration (H35.30), Nonexudative age-related macular degeneration (H35.31), Exudative age-related macular degeneration (H35.32), macular cyst, hole, or pseudohole (H35.34), Cystoid macular degeneration (H35.35), Drusen (degenerative) of macula (H35.36), puckering of macula (H35.37) and toxic maculopathy (H35.38).
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.
