What it is

When to use this code

Use B30.0 when the provider documents adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis, epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, or a similar diagnosis tied to adenovirus. It is appropriate when the record shows both conjunctival and corneal involvement. If the organism is not stated, check documentation before assigning this code.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for nonspecific conjunctivitis without corneal involvement or when another cause is documented. If the viral cause is unclear, check documentation.

Coding tip

Code the documented adenoviral cause only when the provider clearly identifies it; otherwise, query or verify the record.
