About coding retina vascular arteriosclerosis
The ICD-10-CM code for retina vascular arteriosclerosis is I70.8 (Atherosclerosis of other arteries).
Within I70, choose I70.8 (of other arteries) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: of aorta (I70.0), of renal artery (I70.1), of native arteries of the extremities (I70.2), of unspecified type of bypass graft(s) of the extremities (I70.3), of autologous vein bypass graft(s) of the extremities (I70.4), of nonautologous biological bypass graft(s) of the extremities (I70.5), of nonbiological bypass graft(s) of the extremities (I70.6), of other type of bypass graft(s) of the extremities (I70.7) and 1 more.
Use an additional code to identify: exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22), history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891), occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31), tobacco dependence (F17.-) and tobacco use (Z72.0).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
