ICD-10 Code H30.81 – Harada’s disease (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.81 – Harada’s disease
What it is
H30.81 identifies Harada’s disease, also called Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, a bilateral inflammatory eye disorder. Use it for documented ocular involvement of this autoimmune condition.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include bilateral uveitis, blurred vision, photophobia, and eye pain. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for confirmed ocular inflammation or associated neurologic, skin, or auditory findings.
When to use this code
Use H30.81 when the clinician documents Harada’s disease or Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease as the diagnosis. It fits encounters focused on active eye inflammation or follow-up care for the same condition. If the note only says uveitis without this specific diagnosis, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific uveitis, iritis, or other inflammatory eye disorders unless Harada’s disease is documented. Do not assign it when the diagnosis is uncertain or only suspected.
Coding tip
Confirm the exact documented disease name before assigning H30.81, especially when the chart uses broader terms like uveitis.
