ICD-10 Code H15.041 – Scleritis with corneal involvement, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H15.041 – Scleritis with corneal involvement, right eye
What it is
H15.041 identifies scleritis in the right eye when inflammation also affects the cornea. Use this code for documented right-sided disease involving both the sclera and corneal tissue.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include a painful, red eye with deep inflammation and corneal involvement noted on examination. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality and extent.
When to use this code
Use H15.041 when the provider documents scleritis with corneal involvement in the right eye. It applies when the record clearly links the corneal involvement to the scleritis. If laterality or the corneal component is not documented, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for scleritis without corneal involvement or for left eye, bilateral, or unspecified eye disease. Do not assume corneal involvement unless the provider states it.
Coding tip
Verify both the right-eye laterality and the corneal involvement in the assessment or impression before assigning H15.041.
