2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.141 – Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy, right eye
What it is
This code identifies acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy affecting the right eye. It is an inflammatory chorioretinal condition that can cause multiple placoid lesions in the posterior segment.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include sudden blurred vision and yellow-white placoid lesions at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality and exam findings.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record specifically documents acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy in the right eye. It is appropriate when the clinician identifies the condition and laterality is clearly stated. If the note only says APMPPE without eye specification, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use it for APMPPE involving the left eye, both eyes, or unspecified eye. Do not assign it when the diagnosis is only suspected or not documented clearly.
Coding tip
Verify laterality in the assessment or ophthalmology report before assigning H30.141.
