ICD-10 Code H30.123 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, peripheral, bilateral (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.123 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, peripheral, bilateral
What it is
This code identifies bilateral inflammation affecting the choroid and retina, with lesions located in the peripheral fundus. Use it when documentation specifies disseminated chorioretinal inflammation in both eyes.
Clinical signs
Findings may include peripheral chorioretinal inflammatory lesions, blurred vision, floaters, or reduced visual acuity. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation and ophthalmic examination findings.
When to use this code
Use H30.123 when the provider documents disseminated chorioretinal inflammation and clearly states that it is peripheral and bilateral. This is appropriate for ophthalmology notes, imaging reports, or exam findings that localize the disease to both eyes. Check documentation if laterality or anatomic location is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unilateral disease, non-peripheral involvement, or nonspecific chorioretinal inflammation without the required details. Check documentation if the note does not confirm both eyes.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and peripheral location in the record before assigning H30.123.
