ICD-10 Code H31.311 – Expulsive choroidal hemorrhage, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H31.311 – Expulsive choroidal hemorrhage, right eye
What it is
H31.311 identifies an expulsive choroidal hemorrhage affecting the right eye. This code describes a serious intraocular bleeding event involving the choroid, usually documented with laterality.
Clinical signs
Findings may include sudden ocular pain, rapid loss of vision, a shallow or collapsed anterior chamber, and marked intraocular hemorrhage. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H31.311 when the record specifically documents expulsive choroidal hemorrhage in the right eye. It is appropriate when the provider identifies the condition as a distinct diagnosis, often after ocular surgery or trauma. If laterality is not confirmed, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified eye laterality or for non-expulsive choroidal hemorrhage. If the chart only notes choroidal bleeding without the expulsive description, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both the expulsive nature and right-eye laterality in the operative note or assessment before assigning H31.311.
