ICD-10 Code H31.413 – Hemorrhagic choroidal detachment, bilateral (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H31.413 – Hemorrhagic choroidal detachment, bilateral
What it is
H31.413 identifies a hemorrhagic choroidal detachment affecting both eyes. It means blood has collected in the choroidal space, causing separation of the choroid from the eye wall.
Clinical signs
Findings may include sudden visual disturbance, eye pain, or a visible choroidal elevation on examination. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation and ophthalmology findings.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly documents bilateral hemorrhagic choroidal detachment. It fits postoperative, traumatic, or spontaneous cases only when both eyes are involved and hemorrhage is specified. If laterality is not documented, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonhemorrhagic choroidal detachment or for unilateral disease. If the note describes another retinal or choroidal disorder without detachment, choose the documented condition instead.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and the word “hemorrhagic” in the provider note before assigning H31.413.
