ICD-10 Code H30.10 – Unspecified disseminated chorioretinal inflammation (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.10 – Unspecified disseminated chorioretinal inflammation
What it is
This code identifies chorioretinal inflammation affecting multiple areas of the choroid and retina, without a more specific cause or pattern documented. Use it when the record confirms disseminated involvement but does not name the exact subtype.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include blurred vision, floaters, or inflammatory retinal and choroidal lesions noted on eye examination.
When to use this code
Use H30.10 when the provider documents disseminated chorioretinal inflammation and does not specify a more exact diagnosis. It also fits when laterality, etiology, or a more detailed subtype is not recorded. Check documentation if the note suggests a specific infectious, autoimmune, or other defined condition.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for isolated choroiditis, isolated retinitis, or a clearly documented specific chorioretinal disorder. If another diagnosis explains the inflammation more precisely, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Query for the underlying cause and any more specific ocular diagnosis before defaulting to this unspecified code.
