ICD-10 Code H31.301 – Unspecified choroidal hemorrhage, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H31.301 – Unspecified choroidal hemorrhage, right eye
What it is
This code identifies a hemorrhage in the choroid of the right eye when the type or cause is not further specified. Use it for documented bleeding within the choroidal layer, limited to the right eye.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include sudden visual disturbance, ocular pain, or abnormal fundus examination consistent with choroidal bleeding in the right eye.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents an unspecified choroidal hemorrhage affecting the right eye and does not identify a more specific subtype. It also fits when laterality is clear, but the record does not describe the cause or extent. Check documentation if another retinal or choroidal disorder is named.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for hemorrhage in the left eye, bilateral disease, or a different intraocular bleeding site. If the record specifies another choroidal condition or a more precise diagnosis, code that instead.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and the word “unspecified” in the provider note before assigning H31.301.
