ICD-10 Code H43.11 – Vitreous hemorrhage, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H43.11 – Vitreous hemorrhage, right eye
What it is
H43.11 identifies bleeding into the vitreous body of the right eye. It is used when blood obscures the clear gel inside the eye and affects vision.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include sudden floaters, blurred vision, or a reddish haze in the visual field. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H43.11 when the provider documents vitreous hemorrhage limited to the right eye. It may appear after retinal disease, trauma, or other eye disorders, but you should code only what is documented. If laterality is specified as right, this code is appropriate.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for hemorrhage in the left eye, bilateral disease, or unspecified eye. Do not assign it when the record describes another type of ocular bleeding instead.
Coding tip
Verify laterality in the assessment or impression before coding, because eye codes are often side-specific.
