ICD-10 Code H44.112 – Panuveitis, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H44.112 – Panuveitis, left eye
What it is
Panuveitis, left eye means inflammation involves the uveal tract of the left eye, including the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. Use this code when documentation clearly identifies the left eye.
Clinical signs
Common findings may include eye pain, redness, photophobia, blurred vision, and floaters. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation and ophthalmology assessment for laterality and extent.
When to use this code
Use H44.112 when the provider documents panuveitis affecting only the left eye. It is appropriate for confirmed diagnoses in outpatient, inpatient, or specialist notes. If the record states bilateral disease or does not specify laterality, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for uveitis limited to the anterior, intermediate, or posterior segment only. Do not assign it when the eye or laterality is not documented clearly.
Coding tip
Verify laterality in the final assessment, not just in the history or exam findings.
