About coding retinoschisis

The ICD-10-CM code for retinoschisis is H33.10 (Unspecified retinoschisis). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on H33.10.

Within H33.1, choose H33.10 (Unspecified retinoschisis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: cyst of ora serrata (H33.11), parasitic cyst of retina (H33.12) and other retinoschisis and retinal cysts (H33.19).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H33.101 (right eye), H33.102 (left eye), H33.103 (bilateral) and H33.109 (unspecified eye).

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