2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.92 – Unspecified chorioretinal inflammation, left eye

What it is

This code identifies inflammation involving the choroid and retina in the left eye, when the specific type is not documented. Use it when the record confirms chorioretinal inflammation but does not name a more precise diagnosis.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have decreased vision, floaters, eye discomfort, or retinal inflammation noted on examination or imaging.

When to use this code

Use H30.92 when the provider documents chorioretinal inflammation in the left eye without further detail. It also fits cases where the laterality is clear but the exact cause or subtype is not specified. If the note identifies a more specific disorder, code that diagnosis instead.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for inflammation in the right eye, bilateral disease, or a more specific chorioretinal diagnosis. Check documentation if the record only mentions uveitis, retinitis, or choroiditis without chorioretinal involvement.

Coding tip

Confirm left-eye laterality and the exact wording in the assessment before assigning H30.92.
