2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H35.61 – Retinal hemorrhage, right eye
What it is
H35.61 identifies bleeding within the retina of the right eye. Use it when documentation specifically states retinal hemorrhage on the right side.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visible retinal blood on eye examination, blurred vision, or floaters. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents retinal hemorrhage limited to the right eye. It may appear in notes from ophthalmology, emergency care, or follow-up visits after retinal examination. If the record does not specify laterality, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for hemorrhage in the left eye, both eyes, or unspecified eye. Do not use it for nonretinal ocular bleeding unless the retina is clearly involved.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality in the assessment or exam note before assigning H35.61.
