ICD-10 Code H15.093 – Other scleritis, bilateral (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H15.093 – Other scleritis, bilateral
What it is
H15.093 identifies scleritis affecting both eyes when the record specifies another type not otherwise classified. It refers to inflammation of the sclera, the white outer coat of the eye.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eye redness, deep ocular pain, tenderness, and possible photophobia. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for bilateral involvement and the specific scleritis type.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents bilateral scleritis and does not name a more specific category. It fits cases described as other scleritis, including charted subtypes that are not separately listed. You should confirm both laterality and that the diagnosis is not better captured by another code.
Do not use for
Do not use it for unilateral scleritis or for conditions documented as a more specific scleritis code. Check documentation if the note only says eye inflammation, conjunctivitis, or episcleritis.
Coding tip
Verify bilateral laterality in the assessment, not just the symptoms, before assigning H15.093.
