ICD-10 Code H35.441 – Age-related reticular degeneration of retina, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H35.441 – Age-related reticular degeneration of retina, right eye
What it is
This code identifies age-related reticular degeneration affecting the right retina. It describes a retinal degeneration pattern linked to aging and documented specifically in the right eye.
Clinical signs
Findings may include a reticular or network-like retinal pattern on examination or imaging. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality and the exact retinal description.
When to use this code
Use H35.441 when the provider documents age-related reticular degeneration of the retina in the right eye. Code it when the diagnosis is confirmed and the record clearly identifies the right eye.
If the note only mentions retinal degeneration without age-related reticular degeneration, or laterality is not stated, check documentation before coding. Do not assume the right eye from context alone.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified retinal degeneration, left eye disease, or bilateral involvement unless documented separately. Check documentation if the record uses a different retinal disorder.
Coding tip
Always verify both the age-related diagnosis and right-eye laterality in the provider note before assigning H35.441.
