ICD-10 Code H15.091 – Other scleritis, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H15.091 – Other scleritis, right eye
What it is
H15.091 identifies scleritis affecting the right eye when the documentation specifies a form not captured by a more exact scleritis code. It refers to inflammation of the sclera, the white outer coat of the eye.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly recorded findings include deep eye pain, redness, tenderness, and possible photophobia or decreased vision, but you should code only what is documented.
When to use this code
Use H15.091 when the provider documents other scleritis in the right eye and no more specific subtype is stated. It is appropriate for ophthalmology notes, consults, or problem lists that clearly identify the right eye. If the record names a specific scleritis type, use that code instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for left-eye or bilateral disease, or when the diagnosis is episcleritis, keratitis, or another non-scleritis condition. Check documentation if the eye laterality or exact subtype is unclear.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the exact wording “other scleritis” before assigning H15.091.
