ICD-10 Code H30.13 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, generalized (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.13 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, generalized
What it is
H30.13 identifies generalized disseminated inflammation affecting the choroid and retina. Use it when documentation shows widespread chorioretinal inflammatory disease rather than a localized lesion.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly recorded findings may include multifocal chorioretinal inflammatory lesions and visual disturbance, with diagnosis based on ophthalmic examination.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents disseminated chorioretinal inflammation involving the eye in a generalized pattern. It fits cases described as widespread, multifocal, or diffuse chorioretinal inflammation. If the record only states chorioretinitis without distribution, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use it for isolated retinal or choroidal disease without chorioretinal inflammation. Avoid it when the note describes a different ocular inflammatory disorder or when the laterality and extent are not supported; check documentation.
Coding tip
Code only when the ophthalmology note clearly supports generalized dissemination, and query for clarification if the extent is not stated.
