ICD-10 Code H35.152 – Retinopathy of prematurity, stage 4, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H35.152 – Retinopathy of prematurity, stage 4, left eye
What it is
This code identifies retinopathy of prematurity in the left eye at stage 4, meaning partial retinal detachment has developed. Use it when the record clearly documents this specific stage and eye.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Standard references describe stage 4 as partial retinal detachment in retinopathy of prematurity, which may be found on ophthalmic examination.
When to use this code
Use H35.152 when the provider documents retinopathy of prematurity, stage 4, limited to the left eye. It is appropriate for neonatal or pediatric ophthalmology records that specify the stage and laterality. If the stage or eye is not stated, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for other stages of retinopathy of prematurity or for unspecified eye involvement. Do not assign it if the record only mentions prematurity-related eye disease without stage 4 detail.
Coding tip
Confirm both the stage and the affected eye in the ophthalmology note before assigning H35.152.
