ICD-10 Code H35.361 – Drusen (degenerative) of macula, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H35.361 – Drusen (degenerative) of macula, right eye
What it is
H35.361 identifies drusen in the macula of the right eye. Drusen are yellow-white deposits under the retina that can be part of age-related macular degeneration.
Clinical signs
Findings may include drusen seen on fundus exam, with or without visual symptoms. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H35.361 when the record specifically documents degenerative macular drusen in the right eye. Code it for laterality-specific right-eye documentation, including ophthalmology assessments or imaging reports that confirm the finding. You should not assume laterality if the note is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for drusen of the left eye or bilateral disease. Do not use it for other macular disorders unless the provider clearly documents right-eye degenerative drusen.
Coding tip
Check the eye laterality carefully; if the note does not specify right eye, query the provider.
