ICD-10 Code H15.092 – Other scleritis, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H15.092 – Other scleritis, left eye
What it is
H15.092 identifies scleritis affecting the left eye when the documentation does not fit a more specific scleritis type. It refers to inflammation of the sclera, the white outer coat of the eye.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include deep eye pain, redness, and tenderness, often with pain on eye movement. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents other scleritis in the left eye and does not name a more specific subtype. It is appropriate for left-sided disease only, including cases described as unspecified or atypical scleritis in that eye. Check documentation if laterality or subtype is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for episcleritis, keratitis, conjunctivitis, or nonspecific eye redness without a documented scleritis diagnosis. Do not assign it when the affected eye is not the left eye.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the exact provider wording before coding, because “other” scleritis is not the same as unspecified eye inflammation.
