Coding Wet and Dry AMD

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is among the most common retinal diagnoses. Although the clinical features of the disease are well known, ICD-10 coding can be confusing if details such as stage, activity, and laterality are not clearly documented. Incomplete documentation may prompt questions about the medical necessity of diagnostic tests or intravitreal injections. This Q&A addresses common sources of confusion and offers practical guidance to support clear, accurate documentation.
