Non-Billable Code
Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail.ICD Code H33.0 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the six child codes of H33.0 that describes the diagnosis 'retinal detachment with retinal break' in more detail.

The ICD code H33 is used to code Retinal detachment
Retinal detachment (also known as amotio retinae) is a disorder of the eye in which the retina peels away from its underlying layer of support tissue. Initial detachment may be localized or broad, but without rapid treatment the entire retina may detach, leading to vision loss and blindness. It is almost always classified as a medical emergency. Permanent damage may occur if the detachment is not repaired within 24–72 hours.
