ICD-10 Code D86.83 – Sarcoid iridocyclitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D86.83 – Sarcoid iridocyclitis
What it is
D86.83 identifies iridocyclitis caused by sarcoidosis, an inflammatory condition affecting the iris and ciliary body. Use it when the eye inflammation is documented as sarcoid-related.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include anterior uveitis with eye pain, redness, photophobia, and blurred vision. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for confirmation of sarcoidosis involvement.
When to use this code
Use D86.83 when the provider documents sarcoid iridocyclitis, sarcoid uveitis, or anterior uveitis due to sarcoidosis. It may appear in ophthalmology, rheumatology, or general medical records when the eye finding is linked to sarcoidosis.
Code it only when the causal relationship is stated or clearly supported in the record. Check documentation if the note mentions uveitis without specifying sarcoidosis.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for iridocyclitis from other causes, such as infection, trauma, or autoimmune disease without sarcoidosis. Do not assign it when sarcoidosis is suspected but not documented.
Coding tip
Look for an explicit provider link between the eye inflammation and sarcoidosis before assigning D86.83.
