ICD-10 Code H31.41 – Hemorrhagic choroidal detachment (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H31.41 – Hemorrhagic choroidal detachment
What it is
H31.41 identifies a hemorrhagic choroidal detachment, a condition where blood collects in the choroidal space and separates the choroid from the sclera. It is an eye diagnosis that usually reflects an acute complication.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, records describe sudden ocular pain, decreased vision, or an elevated, dome-shaped choroidal separation on examination or imaging.
When to use this code
Use H31.41 when the provider documents hemorrhagic choroidal detachment specifically. It may appear after ocular surgery, trauma, or other eye events, but you should code only what is documented. If the note states choroidal detachment without hemorrhage, this code is not appropriate.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonhemorrhagic choroidal detachment or for other retinal or choroidal disorders. Check documentation if the record only mentions intraocular bleeding without a documented choroidal detachment.
Coding tip
Confirm that both “hemorrhagic” and “choroidal detachment” are documented before assigning H31.41.
