Central retinal vein occlusion, right eye, stable

This code signifies a blockage of the central retinal vein in the right eye, leading to impaired blood flow and potential vision loss. The "stable" designation indicates that the condition is not actively worsening or in an acute phase, but rather in a chronic or resolved state.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a diagnosis of central retinal vein occlusion affecting the right eye, and the physician explicitly states the condition is stable, chronic, or resolved. This is appropriate for follow-up visits after initial diagnosis and treatment, or when monitoring a long-standing, non-progressing occlusion.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "right eye" and explicitly states the condition is "stable" or similar (e.g., chronic, resolved).
• Do not use this code for acute or active central retinal vein occlusions; specific acute codes are available.
• Verify laterality (right, left, bilateral, unspecified) is clearly documented to avoid coding errors.
