H34.2 — Other retinal artery occlusions
Is H34.2 billable?
No — H34.2 is a non-billable header code. H34.2 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 8 billable codes beneath H34.2.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from H34
The conditions below can never be reported together with H34.2 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- amaurosis fugax (G45.3)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 7
The conditions below are not part of H34.2, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, H34.2 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- diabetes mellitus related eye conditions (E09.3-, E10.3-, E11.3-, E13.3-)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
- injury (trauma) of eye and orbit (S05.-)
- injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
