ICD-10 Code H30.12 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, peripheral (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.12 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, peripheral
What it is
This code identifies inflammation involving the choroid and retina in the peripheral eye. Use it when documentation specifically states disseminated chorioretinal inflammation affecting the periphery.
Clinical signs
Findings may include peripheral chorioretinal inflammatory lesions, blurred vision, floaters, or mild ocular discomfort. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H30.12 when the provider documents disseminated chorioretinal inflammation and notes peripheral involvement. It may appear in ophthalmology assessments, imaging reports, or follow-up notes describing active or prior inflammatory changes. Check documentation if laterality or a more specific chorioretinal disorder is recorded.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for isolated choroiditis, retinitis, or uveitis without peripheral chorioretinal involvement. If the record is nonspecific, check documentation.
Coding tip
Match the code only to explicit wording about disseminated peripheral chorioretinal inflammation.
