Tributary (branch) retinal vein occlusion
Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.
This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.
Submit one of these 4 more specific codes instead:
- H34.831 Tributary (branch) retinal vein occlusion, right eye (also a header)
- H34.832 Tributary (branch) retinal vein occlusion, left eye (also a header)
- H34.833 Tributary (branch) retinal vein occlusion, bilateral (also a header)
- H34.839 Tributary (branch) retinal vein occlusion, unspecified eye (also a header)
What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
- FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Tributary (branch) retinal vein occlusion
Official coding rules
Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.
Inherited from H34 Retinal vascular occlusions
Excludes1 - never coded here
- amaurosis fugax (G45.3)
