ICD-10 Code H30.111 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation of posterior pole, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.111 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation of posterior pole, right eye
What it is
This code identifies inflammation involving the choroid and retina in the posterior pole of the right eye. Use it when the record clearly states disseminated chorioretinal inflammation limited to that eye.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly noted findings may include decreased vision, floaters, or retinal and choroidal inflammatory changes on eye examination.
When to use this code
Use H30.111 when the ophthalmology note specifically documents disseminated chorioretinal inflammation of the posterior pole in the right eye. It is appropriate when the laterality and anatomic site are both confirmed. If the chart only says chorioretinitis or posterior uveitis without these details, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for left eye, bilateral disease, or unspecified eye involvement. Do not assign it when the record describes a different retinal, choroidal, or uveal disorder.
Coding tip
Always verify laterality and the exact posterior pole wording before assigning H30.111.
